Ask what your family
needs to know.

Pitrupaksha, also called Mahalaya Paksha, is a period in the Hindu lunar calendar associated with remembering ancestors. It falls during Krishna Paksha of Bhadrapada, typically between September and October. The website’s 2026 guide lists 26 September to 10 October; confirm locally because lunar dates can vary by calendar and location.

That can depend on the rite, family tradition and local practice. Tell us who is available in the family and any guidance you have already received; we can help you ask a qualified pandit what applies.

Not always. Tell us where you are and how you hope to take part. Live calls, photographs or recordings depend on the rite, place and date, so ask what is possible before making plans.

For the Pitrupaksha fortnight, contact us as early as you can so we have time to check the date, place and an appropriate pandit. You can also ask about rites at other times of year.

You can update your preferences while the request is still an enquiry. If you later agree to an arrangement directly, its written rescheduling and cancellation terms will apply; ask the coordinator to explain them before you decide.

The coordinator may ask about the rite you are considering, preferred sacred site and date, participants, language or accessibility needs, and ancestor details you choose to share. Only provide information you are authorised and comfortable to share.

Duration varies by rite, family requirements, local practice and site conditions. The coordinator will ask the proposed practitioner to confirm an expected range before any arrangement is finalised.

Yes. Add the language your family understands best. We will check whether an appropriate pandit is available in that language for the place and date.

Tell the coordinator what would help your family participate. Live-call, photography and recording arrangements vary by rite and site and are not included unless they are confirmed directly.

No. The website does not accept card, UPI, bank-transfer or other payment details. Sending the form only asks our team to contact you.

If an offline arrangement is proposed, its amount, inclusions, payment recipient, cancellation conditions and refund terms should be supplied and agreed directly in writing before payment.

Ask the coordinator what payment record or other documentation would apply to a proposed offline arrangement. Nothing is promised by the enquiry form itself.

Any recording, photographs, documents, shipping or follow-up support must be discussed and confirmed as part of the direct arrangement. The website does not include them automatically.

Tell the coordinator as soon as possible. While the request is still an enquiry, preferences can be updated. After a direct arrangement, the written terms agreed for that arrangement apply.

Yes. Tell us the tithi or calendar date if you know it. The website does not create a recurring booking; each year’s arrangement is discussed separately.
