Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to help you understand the process

What is the difference between different death rituals?
Different rituals serve different purposes and are performed at different times. Terahvin (13th day) is the most important post-death ritual. Shraddh is the annual remembrance, typically performed during Pitru Paksha. We'll guide you on which ritual is appropriate for your situation.
How quickly can we book a pandit for immediate rituals?
We have verified pandits available in most cities. Upon your call, we can arrange a pandit within 2-4 hours in major cities. For remote areas, we'll coordinate with local pandits. Call us immediately at +91 98765 43210.
Can I perform rituals at home or do they have to be at a pilgrimage site?
Most rituals can be performed at home with a verified pandit. However, certain rituals are traditionally performed at sacred sites like Gaya, Haridwar, or Pehowa. Our experts will recommend the best option based on your tradition and capability.
What if I cannot travel to perform the ritual in person?
We offer live streaming of rituals performed at pilgrimage sites. You can watch and participate virtually in real-time. Some portions can also be performed on your behalf by family or our arranged pandits at sacred locations.
What is included in ritual packages?
Our packages typically include: verified pandit fees, ritual materials (samagri), venue arrangements if at pilgrimage site, food for guests, and guidance documentation. Premium packages also include transportation, accommodation, and live streaming. See package details for specific inclusions.
When should I perform the annual Shraddh?
Shraddh should ideally be performed on the death anniversary (according to lunar calendar) or during Pitru Paksha (13 days in September-October each year). We'll send you reminders and help coordinate the ritual every year.
