Pitru Paksha 2025 starts and ends. Hindus perform Shradh rituals for departed souls during this period. Gaya is a sacred site for Pind Daanam. Seven pinds (rice flour balls) are offered at holy spots like Vishnu's footprint and Akshay Vat. Pind Daan can be done on specific days or during the annual Pitru Paksha Mela. The ritual includes bathing, taking a vow, offering pinds, and Tarpanam. Consult a family priest for the best date. Pind Daanam helps souls achieve Moksha and escape the cycle of rebirth.
