Step 2: Send Your Ancestors’ Names and Gotra

After booking, you need to prepare the details of your ancestors for the puja.

Please send the names and gotras of the ancestors included in your selected ritual. Depending on the type of Pind Daan, these details may cover your annual ancestral ritual or Pind Daan for 17 generations.

You can prepare the information in a PDF file and send it to us through WhatsApp. This helps Pandit Ji prepare for the sankalp and perform the rituals according to the details provided by your family.

Step 3: Puja Materials and Preparations

On your confirmed booking date, our team arranges the required puja materials in advance. A Pandit Ji and an assistant will be present at the designated ritual location to carry out the puja.

The materials are arranged according to the requirements of your selected puja. These may include:

• Yellow mustard seeds
• Ganga Jal
• Black sesame seeds (kala til)
• Barley flour or rice flour, as required
• Betel leaves and betel nuts
• Fruits
• Sacred thread or janeu
• Turmeric
• Incense sticks and a diya
• Camphor and cotton wicks
• Akshat (rice grains)
• Flowers and garlands

The team purchases and prepares the necessary items before the puja so that the rituals can proceed in an organised manner.

Step 4: Join the Puja Through Video Calling

You can participate in Online Pind Daan in Varanasi from your home or any other location.

For this, you can connect through WhatsApp video calling or Zoom, as arranged during booking. Please keep your WhatsApp number active and ensure that your internet connection is stable at the scheduled time.

Through the video call, you can watch Pandit Ji perform the rituals and follow the proceedings without needing to travel to Varanasi.

Step 5: Pind Daan Vidhi Begins with Traditional Rituals

Once the preparations are complete, Pandit Ji begins the puja according to the selected ritual and relevant Vedic traditions.

The process includes the invocation and sankalp, using the names and gotras provided by your family. Mustard seeds may be sprinkled in the four directions as part of the prescribed ritual.

After the initial preparations and invocation, Pandit Ji proceeds with the Pind Daan vidhi and offers the pindas while reciting the appropriate mantras.

For Pind Daan involving 17 generations, the arrangements may include 16 round pindas and one elongated pinda, according to the ritual being performed. The additional pinda is associated in some traditions with ancestors whose identities or circumstances of death are unknown, including those who may have died unexpectedly.

The exact procedure can vary according to the puja, family tradition, and instructions followed by the Pandit Ji.

Step 6: Receive Puja Photos and Videos

After the puja is completed, our team shares the available photographs and videos with you through WhatsApp.

These provide a record of the rituals performed on your behalf. You can review the shared material and keep it for your family records.

Step 7: Payment After Completion

As explained in our service process, payment is made after the puja is completed and the photos and videos have been shared with you.

The applicable package and payment terms are discussed during booking so that you understand the arrangements in advance.
