Overview

Pind Daan for families in Maidagin

Pind Daan is one of the most important rites for honouring the departed. Family members offer pindas, small rounds made of rice or barley flour, sesame and ghee, along with water and prayers, remembering loved ones and seeking peace for their souls. It is a way for a family to express gratitude, love and continuity with those who came before.

Maidagin is a busy crossing and neighbourhood in the northern part of old Varanasi, close to Chowk and the old city lanes. It is a key junction where traffic from the newer parts of the city meets the narrow streets leading into old Banaras.

ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥

Shukla Yajurveda 19.36

Planning Your Puja in Maidagin

The Maidagin crossing is very congested for much of the day; early mornings are easiest.
Vehicles can reach the main road, but homes inside the old city lanes usually need a walk.
Sundays and Tuesdays can be busier near the Kaal Bhairav temple lanes.
Share a landmark so the Pandit can find your house quickly.
Rooftops are commonly used for havans in older homes.
Bring the names of the ancestors and your gotra; if unknown, the Pandit will guide you.
Arrive in Varanasi a day early, especially during Pitru Paksha.
