Purnima of Pitru Paksha is the day of arrival, the moment when the departed ancestors return, waiting for the offerings of their descendants. This is the first day and the most important of the fortnight.
At Gaya, Lord Vishnu himself dwells as Pitru Devta, guaranteeing that offerings made here reach Pitru Loka without hindrance. Vishnupad is where Chadhava is offered under His divine footprint, while Dharmaranya Vedi is where Pandas—keepers of ancient tradition receive seva and offer it to the ancestors.
Together, these rituals unite spiritual nourishment with material fulfillment, ensuring Pitru are at peace. The Chadhava and Panda Seva at Gaya on Purnima grants Pitru shanti, bless descendants, and complete the dharma of Pitru Paksha.

Mahaseva is a very virtuous and fruitful donation, which has been mentioned repeatedly in the Vedas and Puranas. When a person performs the highest acts like food, clothing and grains with devotion and selflessness, it is called Mahaseva. This donation not only destroys the sins of the donor, but also satisfies the ancestors, gods and sages and liberates him from the bondage of karma of many births!
