Overview
Pind Daan for families in Sarnath
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.
Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.
