Pehowa, historically known as Pitrudhak Tirth, is a sacred town in Kurukshetra district of Haryana where thousands of devotees come to perform Pind Daan — the ritual offering for ancestors — especially on auspicious days like Pitru Paksha and Amavasya. The place lies on the ancient banks of the Saraswati River and has long been considered one of the best sites for performing these rites in Hindu tradition.
The Pind Daan ghats, ceremonies, and sacred spots in Pehowa are typically close to the Saraswati Tirth / Prithudak Teerth area in the heart of town near temples and steps leading down to the water. It’s located about 28 km west of Kurukshetra city , accessible by road via the Kurukshetra–Gulha (SH-6) and Ambala–Kaithal (NH-65) highways.
Pehowa’s pind daan location is not just a ritual site but a deeply historical teerth (pilgrimage spot) where people believe that performing ancestral rites brings peace and moksha (liberation) to the souls of loved ones. Devotees often visit early in the morning to conduct rituals at the ghats with guidance from priests (purohits).
