Arrival of foreign women in traditional Indian style at the sacred Falgu beach of Gayaji.
Gaya city of Bihar is considered to be the only place in the world where Pind Daan and Tarpan are performed for the peace of the souls of their ancestors while alive or after death. During these fifteen days of Pitru Paksha, there is an atmosphere like Mahasangam where lakhs of people come from every corner of the country to pay homage to their ancestors. But this time the presence of foreign tourists and spiritual seekers in these holy streets of Gayaji has given a global and historical dimension to the nature of this fair. When these women, who came from distant countries like Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Italy and Africa, entered the borders of Gayaji, they completely dressed themselves in Indian attire i.e. traditional sarees, respecting the local traditions. When these foreign women, some dressed in red, some in yellow and green sarees, reached the banks of river Falgu, even the local people were astonished to see their sense of respect and love for Indian culture.
Girls from Russia, Ukraine and Germany performed Pind Daan and Tarpan with rituals
Influenced by the Sanatan culture and knowledge of the Vedas, these foreign women who came to India, sat in the presence of the Pandajis and learned priests of Gaya and performed the ritual of Pinda Daan with full devotion for their departed ancestors. According to the beliefs of Hindu religion, the ritual of Pind Daan, which is performed for the peace of the soul and attainment of salvation, was completed by these foreign women with full concentration while chanting mantras. Sitting on the sand of the Falgu River, when these girls from Russia and Ukraine offered the Pinda in their hands and prayed for the salvation of their ancestors, their eyes became moist. Many women during the conversation shared that even though they were born and brought up in a different culture, this spiritual land of India and the energy of Gayaji gives them a strange feeling of peace and belonging within themselves.

This scene of the Pitru Paksha fair of Gayaji is not just a religious ritual, but it is the biggest proof of how the spirit of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam of Indian culture is knitting the entire world together. When citizens of Germany, Italy and African countries come to India and remember their ancestors in Moksha Nagri, away from war, crisis and the materialistic hustle and bustle of the modern world, it becomes a symbol of the global victory of Indian culture.
