Transgenders perform 'Pind Daan' for the first time
Transgenders and eunuchs on Friday conducted 'Pind Daan' for the souls of deceased Kinnars (eunuchs) at the Pishach Mochan Kund in Varanasi for the first time. It was an initiative by the 'Kinnar Akhada' of Varanasi. The 'daan' was reportedly performed in the presence of 21 brahmins. The event aimed at bringing the transgender and eunuch community "into mainstream society".
