Hindus: Why a "Receiver of Dhaanam" should perform Gayatri japa for certain times?
as a prayachittam?
For example, receiver of gho(cow)dhaanam), bhoo (land) dhaanam, etc.
Is the same applicable to a person receiving "Kanya" dhaanam during marriage?
If so, who should do it? The Bride Groom or his Father? And how many times?

14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoHindus : What is the minimum Sankhya (Numbers) of Gayatri to be recited during Tri kala Sandhyavandhana?
Most of the people I consulted say that that minimum number of Gayatri Japa is 32 per time (Prata Kala 32, Madhyanika 32 and Saayam Sandhya 32 Nos).
