GAYA IS ALSO IMPORTANT PLACE OF HINDUS

Large number of Pilgrims belonging to Sanatan Hindu religions come to Gaya every year to offer “Pinda” for obtaining Moksh for their ancestors and for this reason they offer “Pinda” & perform religions ceremonies on “Vedis” located at Vishnupad Temple, Falgu River, Akshaywat & various other places. It is believed that performing “Pindadaan” in Gaya in the “Pitripaksh” helps in attaining Moksha to the souls of the ancestors.
