Frequently asked questions
Is an online puja valid?
The heart of a puja is the sankalp, mantra and your own offerings. In an online puja your family performs the offerings at home while the pandit chants and guides — the sankalp is taken in your names and gotra exactly as in person. Many families also see it as the practical way to keep traditions alive abroad.
Do you have pandits based in the USA?
No. Our pandits perform online pujas from India and travel to tirths in India. We don't have a US office.
Which pujas can be done online?
Most household pujas and paths — Satyanarayan Katha, Griha Pravesh, Ganesh and Lakshmi puja, Rudrabhishek, Navagraha shanti, Sundarkand, Namkaran and more. Ancestral rites at a tirth (pind daan, asthi visarjan) are performed on your behalf in India.
How do I prepare?
We send a samagri list that matches what Indian grocery stores in the US stock, with substitutes, plus a low-smoke option for apartments with sensitive smoke detectors.
What does it cost?
Online pujas start from $51 (simple single-pandit pujas); larger multi-pandit rites cost more — see our pricing page; we confirm the dakshina before the puja and nothing is charged online.
Which video apps do you use?
Zoom, Google Meet, WhatsApp video.
