Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Chief Lalu Prasad on Tuesday (September 9, 2025) performed ‘pind-daan’ rituals at Gaya ji’s Vishnupad temple for the salvation of his ancestor’s souls.
Mr. Prasad reached the temple in a wheelchair along with his wife Rabri Devi, son Tejashwi Yadav and daughter-in-law Rajshree Yadav on the banks of the Falgu River.
Chairman of Shri Vishnupad Management Committee, Shambhulal Vitthal performed the rituals.
Leader of Opposition in Bihar Legislative Assembly Tejashwi Yadav said that his father’s health was not well despite that he wanted to visit Vishnupad temple to perform ‘pind-daan’ for the salvation of his ancestors’ souls.
Performing ‘pitra puja’ and ‘pind-daan’ during ‘pitru paksha’, which started on September 6, in Gayaji is considered highly auspicious as it is believed to help get rid of ‘pitru dosha’, relieving ancestors from the cycle of birth and death.
