  1. Pind daan in Gaya :- Pind Daan is an offering to the dead elders. It mainly consists of cooked rice mixed with black sesame seeds. Small dumplings of this mixture are offered to crows. These birds are believed to be the representatives of Yama (God or death) or the agents of the dead.

  2. Pind daan in Gaya :- Bharat Seva Ashram, Bengali Ashram and many other local ashrams help the tourists in planning the pind daan puja. Bharat Seva Ashram will arrange a priest for you as well as lunch and dinner.
    A fortnight during the Hindu month of Ashwin is dedicated to the deceased ancestors and this period is called the Pitru Paksha. This phase, which is 16-days long is deemed inauspicious for functions such as a child's tonsuring ceremony, marriages, engagements, beginning of a new venture, property investments and for carrying out other auspicious events.
