Process
What happens between the request and the day
A ceremony booking is nothing like buying a consultation by the minute. There is a date to settle, a venue, a language of recitation, a list of materials and a set of family details the priest needs before he can begin. The booking flow on our puja booking page exists to collect exactly those things in order, and this is what each step is for.
- 01
Choose the ritual, not the occasion. The ritual catalogue lists each ceremony with what it involves and how long it runs, and the price against a ritual is per ceremony rather than per hour. If you are unsure which rite fits your occasion — a griha pravesh and a Vastu shanti are related but not the same thing — the ritual pages describe the difference.
- 02
Pick a date and a time band. The calendar opens from the day after you book, so a same-day ceremony is not something this flow can do. Some rituals are offered in morning bands only, because that is how the ritual page marks them; where that is the case the afternoon options simply do not appear. Once you select a band, the page shows you the finish time by adding the ritual's stated duration to the start, which is usually the number people most want and most often forget to ask for.
- 03
Choose the venue, and the language. Two venue options are offered: at your own address, or over a live video call. Recitation can be requested in Sanskrit or in one of several Indian languages, and this matters more than people expect — a katha recitation the family cannot follow is a very different experience from one it can. Say which language the family speaks, not which one sounds most correct.
- 04
Give a name, a phone number, and an address if it is at your home. The address is required only for a home ceremony, and it is worth writing the full thing with a landmark and a pin code rather than an approximation, because a pandit carrying samagri to the wrong lane is the single most common way a morning goes wrong.
- 05
Confirm, and the details go into a WhatsApp thread. Submitting composes everything you entered into a message addressed to the WhatsApp number on our contact page, so the conversation continues somewhere you can see it and scroll back through. Nothing is charged at this point — the request is a request, and the ceremony is not confirmed until a pandit is actually assigned to it and you have been told who.
Because the confirmation happens in a conversation rather than silently, you should treat that thread as the record. If a detail changes — the date, the venue, the number of people, the language — say so in the same thread rather than assuming it has been noticed.
Preparation
Four things to settle before the day
The muhurat, and who is choosing it
For most sanskars the tradition holds that the rite should begin within a muhurat, an interval judged suitable for that particular act, and it is worth being clear about who is picking yours. Sometimes a family already has a date from its own purohit; sometimes the pandit is being asked to choose one. Either is fine, but they lead to different conversations, so say which it is. If you want to look at the day yourself first, the muhurat pages explain how the tradition reasons about it, the daily panchang gives the tithi and nakshatra for a date, and the choghadiya and shubh muhurat tools break a single day into its divisions.
Names, and the sankalp
The tradition opens most Vedic rites with a sankalp — a spoken statement of intention that names the person on whose behalf the ceremony is being performed — which is why a pandit will ask for full names, and often for the gotra and the birth nakshatra of the principal participants. Gathering those before the morning of the ceremony saves a scramble at the worst possible moment. If nobody in the family knows the gotra, say so plainly; pandits deal with this constantly and there are accepted ways of proceeding.
Samagri, in writing
Puja samagri is the set of materials a rite consumes, and every ceremony has its own list. The question that actually causes friction is not what is on the list but who is buying it. Settle that in the booking thread, item by item if the ceremony is a large one, and get the answer in text rather than in a phone call nobody can refer back to. If your family has a particular custom — a specific flower, a family deity, a version of a katha it has always heard — mention it in advance rather than on the day.
Dakshina, and what else is expected
In Hindu practice dakshina is an offering made to the priest, and the tradition treats it as distinct from the cost of arranging the ceremony rather than as a tip on top of a bill. Ask in the thread what is customary for the rite you have booked, so that nobody is guessing in front of relatives. The same goes for anything else the pandit may need on arrival: a place to change, water, somewhere to sit at floor level, and whether shoes come off at the door.
Format
At home, or over video
A ceremony performed in your own space and one performed over a video call are genuinely different things, and it is better to choose deliberately than to default. A pandit in the room can arrange the altar himself, correct a hand position, and pass the offerings; over a call he can only direct. That makes video a good fit for a recitation-led rite — a katha, a paath, a shanti — and a poorer fit for one that turns on physical handling.
If you do choose video, three practical things decide whether it goes well. Put the camera where the pandit can see the altar rather than where it can see the family, because that is what he needs to be able to correct. Have the samagri laid out before the call begins rather than fetching items during it. And make sure whoever is holding the phone is not also a participant in the rite, which sounds obvious and is the thing that most often gets forgotten.
For locations where a pandit cannot travel to you, the video format is the option we offer, and the cities listed above are where in-home arrangements are made. If your city is not on that list, say where you are in the booking thread rather than assuming the answer is no.
Scope
What a pandit is being booked to do
A pandit is engaged to perform a rite correctly: the vidhi, the mantras, the sequence, and the guidance that lets a family take part in it properly. That is the whole of it, and it is worth saying what falls outside. A ceremony booking is not a consultation about your chart. If what you actually want is somebody to read a horoscope and discuss a decision, that is a different service and it lives on talk to an astrologer — booking a two-hour havan in the hope of squeezing a reading into it serves neither purpose well.
Nor is a ceremony a purchase of an outcome. Our Terms of Service state that services on this platform are for guidance and are not a substitute for licensed medical, legal, financial or psychological advice, and that applies to a rite exactly as it applies to a reading. A pandit here should not be telling you that a ceremony will resolve an illness, win a case, or fix a balance sheet, and a pandit who does is not doing the job we verify people to do. How that verification works, and how to report a practitioner who oversteps it, is set out on how we verify.
If the date has to move
Moving a ceremony is not a simple reschedule, because the date was chosen for reasons and the new one has to be chosen the same way. Raise it in the booking thread as early as you can, and expect the muhurat question to be reopened rather than carried across. The grounds and timings for cancelling or refunding a ritual booking are set out in full on our refund policy — we deliberately do not paraphrase them here, so that there is only one version of them to read.
A word on how we handle your details
A ceremony booking involves more personal information than a reading does: an address, a phone number, family names. Our privacy policy sets out what we hold and how to ask for a copy or a deletion, and the practical rule is the one worth remembering here — nobody working on a booking will ever ask you for a password, a one-time passcode or a card number in that thread.
