What happens if the Pind Daan is not done?
If Pind Daan is not offered to ancestors, it is a Hindu belief that the souls of the deceased will not find peace in the afterlife, which may bring various problems to the family members' lives. Mental disturbances, career-related issues, and financial instability can be observed. Some believe this can even cause sudden death within the family. Offering Pind Daan to the ancestors is an act of paying homage to the deceased, bringing peace to them in their journey ahead. When Pind Daan in the form of rice or wheat balls is offered to our ancestors, they feel their significance in the family and shower blessings upon them. All the negative influences of Pitru dosha are cleansed.
