Nothing is charged online; dakshina is confirmed before the puja. Refund & cancellation policy

Starting dakshina; the final amount is confirmed before the puja. We do not promise outcomes: families perform these pujas to seek blessings, as tradition describes.

When do families consider this puja?

  • A baby's first birthday or a milestone birthday
  • A child recovering from illness or a hospital stay
  • Frequent childhood illnesses the family wants to pray about
  • A child born in a nakshatra (such as Gandmool) for which the family tradition suggests a shanti

What can the family do at home?

  • Parents can chant the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra 11 times at bedtime.
  • Teach older children a short Hanuman Chalisa doha or the Gayatri mantra.
  • Mark birthdays with a lamp, a small prayer and a donation in the child's name.
  • Keep vaccinations and check-ups on schedule and follow the paediatrician's advice.

What should you tell the pandit at the sankalp?

The child's name, the parents' names and gotra, the child's birth details, and the wish 'for our child's health, long life and protection.'

How does the online puja work from abroad?

Our pandits in India lead the puja live on Zoom, Google Meet, WhatsApp video. Your family performs the offerings at home with a samagri list we send in advance, and the muhurat is confirmed in writing in your local time and IST. You receive the recording afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Which puja is done for a child's long life?

Ayush Homa is the traditional choice, especially on the first birthday.

Can a puja be done when a child is ill?

Yes, Maha Mrityunjaya Jaap is commonly done, alongside the doctor's treatment.

Is Gandmool nakshatra a cause for worry?

It is a tradition in some families to perform a shanti, usually around the 27th day. It is not a reason for fear; ask the pandit if your family follows it.

Does the child need to sit through the puja?

No. Young children can come and go; parents take the sankalp.

Is a havan safe near a baby?

Keep the baby at a distance from smoke, or choose our smoke-free havan option.

Can a puja replace medical care?

No, never. It is a prayer alongside it.
