The Procedure
Five stages,
Five stages,
start to prasad
From the moment you send the request to the day the prasad reaches your door.
Payment must reach us at least ten days before the puja date. This is what allows the date, the nakshatra and the materials to be fixed properly.
Step 01
Send your request
Fill in the puja form with the name of the person the ritual is for, along with gotra and your sankalp — the intention you are placing before the deity.
Step 02
Receive confirmation
Guruji confirms the date, the time and the cost. The cost covers the materials needed for the ritual; the dakshina for the brahman priests is whatever you wish to give.
Step 03
Payment reaches us
Payment should arrive at least ten days before the puja date. An online confirmation is issued as soon as it is received.
Step 04
The puja is performed
At the temple, a brahman priest performs the ritual, pronouncing the name, the gotra and the sankalp of the person it is for. You need not be present.
Step 05
Prasad is dispatched
A completion notice is sent, then the prasad is packed and couriered — it normally reaches you within five to seven days of dispatch.
What Reaches You
The prasad
After the puja is complete, a notice is sent to you and the prasad is dispatched the next day. It is packed properly and sent by a courier service with tracking — it normally arrives within five to seven days.
