Have you ever wondered why people travel from different parts of India and even abroad to perform Pind Daan in Gaya Ji? During Pitru Paksha, the ancient city of Gaya becomes an important destination for families remembering their ancestors. The ritual is traditionally performed with the hope of offering peace and liberation to departed souls. But the deeper story of Gaya Ji goes beyond the ritual itself. Its sacred temples, the Phalgu River, Vishnupad Temple and stories associated with Lord Rama and Sita have made it one of Hinduism’s most significant pilgrimage centres for ancestral rites.
