Three common NRI scenarios

Scenario 1

Parents in Bangalore, you abroad

Most common case. Pandit visits parents' home, you join via Zoom for sankalpam and aarti. Parents are physical yajamana, you are virtual yajamana. Both names go in the puja.

Scenario 2

Whole family abroad, ancestral rites needed

Shraddha, Pitru Tarpana, or commemorative pujas done at the appropriate ghat in India by our pandit. You participate via video, names of ancestors taken. Certificate + theertha couriered.

Scenario 3

Sibling network across countries

Brother in California, sister in London, parents in India. All join the same Zoom call. Each sibling's nakshatra mentioned during sankalpam — making everyone a formal yajamana.

Frequently asked questions

How does an online puja for NRI families actually work?

Three steps: (1) You choose the puja and date that fits your timezone. (2) Our pandit performs the ritual at your parents' home in Bangalore (or our centre if parents are also abroad). (3) You join via Zoom, Google Meet, or WhatsApp video call — typically for the sankalpam (formal vow), key offerings, and the final aarti. The pandit speaks your gotra, name, and nakshatra during the ritual, making you a formal yajamana even from across the world.

My parents live in Bangalore. Can the puja be at their home while I join from the US?

Absolutely — this is our most common NRI booking. Pandit visits your parents' home, sets up the puja altar, and at the muhurtham time we connect you via video call. Your parents are the on-site yajamana; you join virtually for sankalpam. We handle the camera setup so you can clearly see the homa fire, kalasham, and aarti.

What timezones do you support?

All. We schedule pujas based on the muhurtham time in India, then accommodate your timezone for the live video portion. Most NRI families in US/UK/Singapore/Australia find a window that works — often early morning or late evening their time. Our coordinator helps you pick a feasible time during booking.

I'm an NRI in the US. Both my parents are no longer alive. Can I still do Shraddha or Pitru Tarpana online?

Yes. We perform Shraddha and Pitru Tarpana on your behalf at significant ghats in India (Gaya, Kashi, Rameshwaram, or Bangalore depending on family tradition). You participate via video for the sankalpam — naming your father, mother, and other ancestors with their gotra. You receive a certificate of completion plus the consecrated theertha and prasadam couriered to your address worldwide.

How is payment handled internationally?

We accept payment in INR (UPI, cards, NEFT) and in USD/GBP/SGD/AUD/CAD via international card or wire transfer. PayPal supported for most countries. We send a proper invoice for your records.

What about samagri — can I send it from abroad or do you arrange?

We arrange everything in India. Samagri is sourced and delivered to your parents' home (or our centre) before the muhurtham. You don't need to ship anything internationally. The cost is included in the puja price.

Will the pandit speak English during the ritual?

Mantras stay in Sanskrit (as the tradition demands). Sankalpam can be done in your preferred language — English, Hindi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam. The pandit will explain key moments in English so you can follow along during the call.

Can siblings in different countries all join the same puja?

Yes. We use Zoom or Google Meet which supports multiple participants. Brother in California, sister in London, parents in Bangalore — all join the same video call. Each sibling's name and nakshatra can be mentioned during sankalpam if you want them all to be formal yajamanas.

Do I get any physical proof of the puja?

Yes. After the puja, you receive: (1) a digital certificate with the date, muhurtham, gotra, nakshatra, and pandit's name; (2) photos of the puja in progress; (3) a recording of the ritual (if you opt in); (4) consecrated prasadam (vibhuti, kumkum, akshata, theertha) couriered internationally. International courier typically takes 7-10 business days.

How far in advance should NRI families book?

For weekday pujas, 7 days notice is usually fine. For festival pujas (Diwali Lakshmi Pooja, Akshaya Tritiya, Maha Shivaratri) and milestone events (60th/80th birthdays, weddings), book 30 days in advance. Time-zone coordination + samagri sourcing is smoother with more notice.

Connect across continents through tradition
