Pandit Pavan Pathak

Pind Daan is a ritual performed in Gaya by offering prayers to the ancestors or the soul. The puja is an important part of Hindu funeral rites and is done to have a peaceful journey of the departed soul. This ritual is mostly performed on Pitru Paksha or death anniversary.

Narayan Bali Puja is performed to appease Lord Narayan for the unnatural death of a human or any Pitru Dosh found in the horoscope. This puja is to be performed in all cases of unnatural deaths, like death by animals, fire, curse, cholera, disease, suicide, snake bite etc. Narayan Bali in Gaya is performed to fulfil and pacify the unsatisfied desires of dead souls who are trapped in our world because these desires stay with the soul even after death. To get rid of their pain they trouble their own family.
