Sanjay Dutt performs ‘pind daan’ for parents Sunil Dutt and Nargis in holy site in Gaya
Sanjay Dutt performed pind daan for his late parents Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt on Thursday in Gaya for peace to their souls.
Arriving on a special charter flight, Sanjay, dressed in a white kurta-pyjama, went to the Moksha Dham Vishnupad temple, located on the bank of Phalgu river, for the ceremony. He was accompanied by his security personnel to ensure his safety.
Pind daan is a Hindu ritual that involves paying homage to the deceased. 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 takes around two hours and can be completed in a day.
Reportedly, Sunil Dutt died on May 25, 2005 and Nargis Dutt on May 3, 1981.
On hearing Sanjay Dutt’s arrival, a large number of his fans assembled outside the Vishnupad temple to have a glimpse of their favorite actor.
Post wrapping up the rituals, Dutt met his fans outside the temple premises. He also interacted with the media and expressed his excitement for the opening of the Lord Ram temple in Ayodhya which will be inaugurated on January 22 by PM Modi. The actor also said that he would like to visit the temple and offer prayers.
