What decides the cost of a Pind Daan
Pind daan is quoted for the circuit rather than the hour. The shortened one-day sequence and the full multi-day one at Gaya are different bookings; the pinda material is inexpensive and the pandit's day is not, because the rite is walked between stations and cannot be fitted around another booking.
What is different in Ara
Ara is walkable and travel within the town is short. The rites kept here tend to be the longer, more social ones, and length is what moves the quote — a rite with the singing in it runs past the hour a shorter household puja would take.
