Online Pind Daan in Varanasi for Non Resident Indians NRIs Varanasi, also known as Kashi, is one of the oldest living cities in the world and is traditionally regarded as the sacred city of Lord Shiva. In Hindu tradition, Kashi holds a special place in rituals connected with ancestors, Shraddha, Pind Daan, and Asthi Visarjan.
Many families living outside India wish to perform Pind Daan for their parents, grandparents, or other ancestors in Kashi but are unable to travel to Varanasi. Work commitments, old age, mobility difficulties, health concerns, family responsibilities, visa issues, or the distance involved can make travelling to India difficult.
For such families, VNS Tour Package provides an online and remote Pind Daan arrangement in Varanasi. You can arrange the ritual from countries such as the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, or other parts of the world without travelling to Kashi.

After completion of the ceremony, photographs and video footage can be provided through Google Drive or WhatsApp, depending on the file size and your preference.
