FAQs
When is the best time for Pind Daan?
Pitru Paksha (September–October) is the most auspicious, and Gaya is very busy then, so book early. Pind Daan can be done at Gaya on any day of the year.
Can you arrange the trip for elderly parents?
Yes. We plan easy hotel locations, wheelchairs where temples allow them, and pony, palki or helicopter options on steep routes.
Is the food vegetarian?
Yes. All meals on our yatras are pure vegetarian. Jain food can be arranged on request.
