Questions before choosing

Clear answers about tithi, Karta and booking

Family traditions can vary. If your situation needs individual guidance, ask our team before choosing.

Ask on WhatsApp
Why does this page not take booking details?

This is the date-selection gateway. It helps you compare whom each tithi is traditionally intended for. After you choose, that pooja’s own page shows the complete service, live availability and secure booking form.

Which date should I choose if the death tithi is unknown?

Sarva Pitru Amavasya on 10 October is the inclusive closing-day observance traditionally chosen for known and unknown ancestors, especially when an exact death tithi is not known or an earlier observance was missed.

Who should be named as the Karta?

The Karta is the eligible family member in whose name the sankalp is taken. The traditional choice depends on the ancestor and family custom, so each date card gives specific guidance. A pratinidhi physically performs the offering in Gaya on the named Karta’s behalf.

Do I need to travel to Gaya or join at a fixed time?

No. Customers do not attend this group pooja physically. Pandit Ji manages the exact ceremony time on the chosen date, so there is no fixed customer attendance time and no Pandit approval step.

How is group Pind Daan different from a private booking?

The group ceremony is shared with other booked families on one fixed date, while each family receives a separate sankalp. The ₹7,100 dedicated package is a family-only arrangement with broader date coordination.

Is GST included in the displayed price?

The base price is before tax. Five per cent GST is added, and every card shows the exact GST amount and tax-inclusive total before you open the booking page.

How many ancestors are covered by one booking?

One seat covers one family and up to five ancestors. On the selected pooja page, you can enter each ancestor’s full name and relation to the Karta before payment.

What if I do not know the family gotra?

You may leave the gotra field blank on the selected pooja page. The team records it as unknown and Pandit Ji follows the prescribed convention during the sankalp.
