Renowned Kannada film actor Kichcha Sudeep visited Gaya, Bihar for the first time. He performed the Pind Daan ritual on Monday for his late mother. His mother had passed away a year ago, and the actor had been wishing to fulfil this sacred duty ever since. After performing the rituals, Sudeep visited the Vishnupad Temple and offered prayers.
The entire ceremony was conducted with proper Vedic rituals by the descendant priests of Rai Bahadur Gopal Lal Barik. The Pind Daan rituals lasted for around three hours. Acharya Vinod, who performed the ceremony, mentioned that the actor was quite emotional and even performed a special offering (Tarpan) in his mother’s name.
