Sanjay Dutt was recently seen in Gaya where he performed Pind Daan for his parents Sunil and Nargis. The actor performed all the rituals.
Bollywood’s renowned actor, Sanjay Dutt, was recently spotted at Vishnupad Temple in Gaya, Bihar. The actor visited the religious site with a specific purpose – to perform Pind Daan, a Hindu ritual offering homage to ancestors, for his parents. It’s noteworthy that this ceremony is exclusively conducted at three sacred sites in Gaya: the Phalgu River, Vishnupad Temple, and the Akshay Vat Tree. During the spiritual ceremony, the actor sought peace for the departed souls.
A video circulating on the internet captures the actor performing the rituals for his parents, surrounded by a security entourage. The ritual typically takes about two hours to complete. For those unfamiliar, Sanjay Dutt’s mother, Nargis Dutt, passed away in 1981, while his father, Sunil Dutt, died in 2005.
