Gaya Tirth Purohit
Sanjay Bhaiya Motiwale
40+ years in Gaya Shraddha, Pind Daan, Tarpan and related ancestral rites
Hereditary Gayawal Tirth Purohit. The right to perform the rites at the Gaya vedis passes down the family, and he has done this work all his life.
What 'verified' means here
Two things are checked, not one. Identity — that the man who meets your family is the man named on this page. And lineage — that he is a Gayawal by descent, with his family's hereditary right to perform the rites at the Gaya vedis. Anyone can call himself a pandit at a ghat in Gaya. The lineage is the part that cannot be assumed.
