Sanjay offered for the peace of the souls of his departed parents, Sunil Dutt and Nargis, at the temple on Thursday.
Pind daan is a Hindu ceremony that involves paying homage to the deceased members of the family. It’s performed by relatives of the deceased at three holy sites in Gaya: the Phalgu River, Vishnupad Temple, and Akshay Vat Tree. The ritual can take about two hours and can be completed in one day.
