Book Kashi Pind Daan & Tarpan
In Kashi, families traditionally offer pind daan and tarpan at the Ganga ghats as a devotional ancestral observance. We confirm the assigned practitioner, ghat or venue access, proposed mantras and sankalp details for the booking.
How your family takes part — from anywhere
- Tell us the ritual, the holy place and the names & gotra of your family (and of the departed, for ancestral rites) on WhatsApp.
- We confirm the local pandit, date, ritual scope, availability and final written price.
- If live video is available for that booking, you join while the sankalp is taken in your name; otherwise we confirm what photos or recording can be provided.
- Before payment, we confirm whether prasad or tirth-jal is available and whether it can be couriered to your destination.
Independent service: Pandit For You is an independent facilitator and is not an official representative of any named temple or trust. Pandit availability, ritual access, live video, recording, prasad, tirth-jal and courier eligibility are confirmed separately for each booking. Temple authorities control entry, darshan and on-site rules.
The ritual, step by step
- Sankalp in your name, gotra and the names of the departed at the Ganga ghat.
- Ganga puja and invocation of the pitru devatas.
- Pind daan and til-tarpan offered into the Ganga.
- Daan and Brahman bhojan to conclude the rite.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in the price?
The starting price of ₹5,100, excluding applicable GST, covers the pandit’s dakshina and puja samagri for the ritual at Kashi (Varanasi). The final written quote shows GST and confirmed inclusions before you pay.
Can it be performed if we live abroad or cannot travel?
It may be performed on your behalf with the sankalp in your name and gotra. Live video, photos or a recording, and any eligible prasad or tirth-jal delivery are confirmed for the specific booking and destination.
Is this the same as the annual shraddh?
It is the tirtha-shraddh performed at Kashi, considered especially meritorious. Your regular annual shraddh at home can still be arranged separately — see our Shraddh & Pind Daan at home.
When can it be performed?
Pitru Paksha is a commonly requested period. Ask us to check practitioner and venue availability and to discuss a suitable date under your family tradition before booking.
