Guiding families through Pind Daan, Tarpan and ancestral rituals at Gaya Ji — with the care and correctness the moment deserves.
Some journeys begin before we are born. And some continue through remembrance.
In Hindu tradition, remembering our ancestors is a sacred responsibility. For families who arrive in Gaya Ji to fulfil that duty, the path is easier when walked beside someone who has walked it many times before.

Pt. Pritam Ji at the sacred kund, Vishnupad Temple
Built around the footprint believed by tradition to belong to Lord Vishnu, Vishnupad Temple is the spiritual heart of Gaya Ji's Pind Daan rituals. It is here, at this ancient site on the banks of the Falgu, that families gather to seek liberation for their ancestors.
Pt. Pritam Ji conducts rituals at Vishnupad Temple in the manner passed down through generations of Gaya Ji's priestly families — with attention to timing, procedure, and the dignity the occasion asks of us.
The Falgu River has flowed alongside Gaya Ji for as long as memory serves. Tarpan — the ritual offering of water to ancestors — is performed here, at the ghats, in the same way it has been for centuries. Pt. Pritam Ji will guide your family through each step, from the correct posture and mantra to the timing that tradition prescribes.
Each ritual is performed in accordance with tradition, at the ghats and temples of Gaya Ji where such rites carry particular significance.

We came from Kolkata with little knowledge of the procedure. He handled everything — the samagri, the timings, even our travel doubts. Truly a blessing.

Pind Daan can be performed at any time of the year in Gaya Ji. However, the fortnight of Pitru Paksha (usually September–October) is considered the most auspicious. If you cannot visit during Pitru Paksha, any Amavasya (new moon) or a personally significant date can be chosen. Pt. Pritam Ji will guide you on the best dates given your family's situation.
A standard Pind Daan in Gaya Ji can take between 1 to 3 days depending on the family's tradition and the specific rituals chosen. Tripindi Shraddh and combined ceremonies may take longer. Pt. Pritam Ji will give you a clear estimate during your first conversation.
Most samagri (ritual materials) can be arranged locally in Gaya Ji. You will typically need to bring simple white clothing, a photograph of the deceased if available, and details of the ancestors for whom the ritual is being performed. A full checklist will be shared with you before your visit.
The cost depends on the specific rituals chosen, the number of days, and the samagri required. Pt. Pritam Ji believes in transparent, respectful pricing without hidden charges. Please call or WhatsApp for a clear estimate based on your requirements.
