Shradh Rituals · Pitru Paksha

Gaya Ji, located on the banks of the sacred Falgu River in Bihar, is revered as one of the most important places in Hinduism for fulfilling ancestral duties. Home to the historic Vishnupad Temple—which features the immortal footprint of Lord Vishnu—it is the ultimate destination for performing Pind Daan and Shradh rituals. Millions of devotees visit throughout the year, particularly during the highly auspicious Pitru Paksha period, to offer prayers and ensure salvation (Moksha) for their departed loved ones.
