Frequently Asked Questions

Booking a pooja is simple. Browse our services page, select the pooja you need, choose between at-home or virtual mode, pick your preferred date and time (or let us advise the best muhurat), fill in your details, and confirm your booking. You will receive a confirmation with your assigned priest's details.

We offer a wide range of pooja services including Satyanarayan Pooja, Griha Pravesh (housewarming), Ganesh Pooja, Lakshmi Pooja, Navgraha Shanti, and many more. Our services are categorized into Life Events, Deity-Specific poojas, Special Occasions, and Shanti Poojas to help you find the right ceremony.

With at-home pooja, a verified priest visits your location and performs the ceremony in person. Virtual pooja is conducted over a video call where the priest performs the rituals at a temple or sacred space while you participate remotely. Both modes follow authentic Vedic traditions.

Samagri refers to all the materials and items needed for the pooja such as flowers, incense, ghee, and specific ritual items. When you choose the samagri add-on, the priest brings all necessary materials so you don't have to arrange anything yourself. This is recommended for convenience, especially for complex ceremonies.

Pooja prices vary depending on the type of ceremony and service mode. Each service page shows transparent pricing for both at-home and virtual options. Samagri (pooja materials) can be added for an additional cost. You can view all prices on our services page before booking.
