Frequently asked questions
Do you have a pandit physically based in Atlanta?
Our pandits lead pujas online from India and travel to tirths in India. For Atlanta families we offer live online puja and tirth puja in India on your behalf. We have no local office in Atlanta.
What time are pujas for Atlanta?
Any time that suits you — we confirm in ET and IST together. Weekend mornings in ET are popular because they fall in the Indian evening.
Where do I buy samagri?
Any Indian grocery store near you; we send a list with substitutes.
