Overview
Pind Daan for families in Shivala
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.
Shivala is a residential neighbourhood along the river between Assi and Kedar Ghat. Its lanes lead down to Shivala Ghat and the smaller ghats nearby, which are generally calmer than the busy central stretch of Kashi's riverfront.
