What is Padagaya Pithapuram?

Padagaya Pithapuram is the sacred Pada Gaya Kshetram located in Pithapuram, East Godavari district, Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the three holiest places in India for ancestral liberation — alongside Gaya in Bihar and Puri in Odisha. Lord Vishnu's divine footprint (paduka) is enshrined here at the Pada Gaya Sarovar, making Padagaya Pithapuram the most sacred destination for Pinda Pradanam and Pitru Karma in South India.

Why is Pithapuram famous for Padagaya?

Pithapuram is famous as Padagaya because it is where the feet (pada) of the demon Gayasura rested when the Holy Trinity performed the cosmic Yagna on his body. This makes Pithapuram one of the Tri-Gaya Peethas — Pada Gaya (Pithapuram, Andhra Pradesh), Siro Gaya (Gaya, Bihar), and Nabhi Gaya (Jajpur, Odisha). Pinda Pradanam performed at Padagaya Pithapuram is said to grant Pitru Moksha equal in power to that performed at the original Gaya in Bihar.

How to perform Pinda Pradanam in Pithapuram?
