For the uninitiated, âPind Daan' is a Hindu ritual performed to honour and pay respects to ancestors or deceased relatives. The term âPind Daan' translates to "offering of rice balls" and is rooted in the belief in providing spiritual salvation to the departed souls. According to Hindu tradition, it is believed that performing this ritual helps the soul attain peace, moving towards a positive afterlife.
During Pind Daan, a priest or a family member typically offers rice balls, water, sesame seeds, and other symbolic items in memory of the deceased. The ceremony is often conducted at sacred riverbanks, particularly in places like Gaya, Varanasi and Haridwar, where it is believed that performing the ritual near flowing water enhances its spiritual significance. Pind Daan is generally performed during specific times, such as the death anniversary of the departed soul or during special religious occasions.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Sanjay Dutt was last seen in the film 'Jawan' in a special appearance. The film directed by Atlee starred Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Deepika Padukone, and Vijay Sethupathi in pivotal roles.
