Pind Daan is an important part of Shraadh and Pitra Paksha. In Pind Daan, people give rice, pulses, barley, sesame seeds, and ghee to their ancestors, as together it becomes the meal of ‘Khichdi’, which is both nutritious and fulfilling.
Pind Daan is given to the ancestors through Pandits and priests, and you ask your ancestors to accept the offering so that they have a healthy afterlife.
