Questions families ask
If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.
What is PujaKarma?
PujaKarma helps you discover traditional Hindu pujas, homams and rituals and connect with Pandits to perform them, in Varanasi or online. You tell us what you need on WhatsApp, and our team helps you with details, availability and pricing.
How do I book a puja?
Choose a puja on our website and tap “Book”, WhatsApp opens with a pre-filled message. Share your preferred date, location and any family customs. Our team replies with Pandit availability, the vidhi and pricing, and confirms the booking with you directly.
How do I book a Pandit?
Simply tell us the puja you need on WhatsApp. We connect you with a Pandit who performs that ritual and speaks your preferred language, then share availability and pricing before you confirm.
Can I book a puja online?
Yes, many pujas can be performed with an online sankalp, the Pandit takes your name, gotra and intention, and you join the ritual by video call. Each puja page shows whether an online option is offered.
Which cities do you serve?
We are live in Varanasi and Hyderabad. In Varanasi, Pandits can perform pujas at your home, hotel or guest house, and ancestral rites such as Pind Daan and Shraddha can be arranged where they are traditionally performed. In Hyderabad and Secunderabad, Pandits visit homes, apartments and offices for Gruhapravesam, homams, vratams and sanskars. Families anywhere else can book online pujas.
How much does a puja cost?
Costs depend on the ritual, the vidhi, the number of Pandits, samagri and location. Rather than show a price that may not fit your needs, we share a clear quote on WhatsApp after understanding your requirements, before you confirm anything.
Can NRIs book pujas?
Yes. Families living outside India can book online pujas with a live video link, scheduled around their time zone. For rituals that must be performed in person, a family member or representative in Varanasi may be able to attend, we will explain the options.
Can I choose a Pandit?
Yes, share preferences such as language, regional tradition or a Pandit you already know. We will confirm availability for your date.
Can pujas be performed at home?
Most pujas, such as Satyanarayan Puja, Griha Pravesh, Rudrabhishek and havans, are commonly performed at home. A few rites are traditionally performed at specific places, which we explain on those puja pages.
What is included in a puja?
Typically the Pandit's services for the ritual, the sankalp in your family's name and guidance on preparation. Samagri can often be arranged on request. Every puja page lists what is usually included and what is not, and we confirm specifics before booking.
How do I contact PujaKarma?
The quickest way is WhatsApp. You can also call us directly. Both options are available on every page of the website.
