Bhagwan Vishnu — the charan-chihna kshetra, the palanhaar who shelters all life
Shri Vishnupad Mandir at Gaya enshrines the sacred charan-chihna, the footprint of Bhagwan Vishnu, the palanhaar who preserves and shelters all life. It stands on the bank of the Falgu, and is the foremost kshetra of Bharat for the rites offered to one's ancestors.
Gaya is where Pitru Paksha tarpan and pind daan are performed by families from every part of the country. Devotees take these sevas when a departed elder has been seen in dreams, when a family line feels stalled, or simply because the shraddh tithi has come and travel is not possible.
5 sevas are open for booking right now.
Yes. Tarpan offered by a representative on behalf of the family is long-established practice — what matters is that the sankalp names the correct person and gotra and that the rite is performed at the Gaya kshetra on the correct tithi. The acharya speaks your naam-gotra aloud, and the recording is sent to you.
Choose one of the 5 sevas listed below, enter your naam and gotra, and complete the payment. On the appointed tithi an acharya of the Kshetra takes the sankalp in your naam-gotra and performs the vidhi.
Yes. After the seva is complete an HD video is sent to your WhatsApp number, generally within 24 hours, in which your naam and gotra can be heard in the sankalp.
