Online Kaal Bhairav Puja: FAQs
Can Kaal Bhairav Puja be done online?
Yes. The Pandit takes the sankalp in your name and your family joins the Ashtakam and aarti by video call.
How does an online puja work?
You share your name, gotra (if known), the names of family members to include and your intention. At the scheduled time, the Pandit performs the sankalp in your name and conducts the ritual while you join by video call and follow along.
Which pujas can be performed online?
Many pujas, paths and homams can be performed with an online sankalp. Rituals that fundamentally need the family on-site, such as Griha Pravesh, Bhoomi Puja, Vivah or Asthi Visarjan, are offered in person. Each puja page shows the options available.
Can I book from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE or Singapore?
Yes, you can enquire from anywhere. We schedule around your time zone where the muhurat allows, and share the details on WhatsApp.
What do I need at home for an online puja?
A quiet space, a stable internet connection and a simple setup such as a diya, incense and flowers is usually enough. The Pandit will tell you if anything specific is recommended.
Will I receive a recording or prasad?
These can be discussed when you enquire. We only confirm what can actually be arranged for your booking.
