The process, plainly

How coordination works

Four clear steps, no prior knowledge required and no website payment.

  1. Send an enquiry

    Tell us what you know: the rite, preferred sacred site, family circumstances and approximate date. “Not sure” is a valid starting point.

  2. A coordinator speaks with you

    The family details, questions and practical constraints are discussed personally by phone or WhatsApp.

  3. The scope is confirmed

    The suitable next step, supported location and local arrangements are clarified before any offline commitment is made.

  4. You decide with context

    You receive the information needed to proceed personally. Submitting the website form does not create a booking or payment obligation.

All FAQs →
What is the period of Pitrupaksha in 2026?

The website’s 2026 guide currently lists 26 September to 10 October, during Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada. Lunar dates can vary by calendar and location, so confirm the relevant date for your family and sacred site before making plans.

Can I perform the pooja remotely from abroad?

Tell us where you are and how you hope to participate. Remote participation, language, live-call or recording arrangements depend on the rite, sacred site and availability, and are confirmed personally before you decide.

How do you coordinate a suitable pandit?

Our network includes 100+ pandits across eight supported sacred sites. A coordinator gathers the rite, site, language, date and family requirements, then confirms the proposed pandit and practical arrangements personally. You can ask questions before making a decision.

What do I need to provide before the pooja?

Names of up to three generations of ancestors, your gotra (if known), the tithi or date of passing for the Shradh, and a brief intention. Send an enquiry and our coordinator will guide you personally before anything is finalised.

Do you accept international payments?

The website is currently enquiry-only and does not collect online payments. A coordinator will first confirm the rite, date and arrangements with you personally.

Is Pitrupaksha the only time these rites can be performed?

Timing depends on the rite, family tradition and local practice. Dates shown on the website are general guidance, not a personal religious recommendation. A coordinator can help you prepare the question for an appropriate practitioner.

“Remember with care.
Ask questions before you decide.”
