How do I book a pandit on PanditG?

Open the app, choose the ritual, pick the muhurat, and confirm. You will see verified pandits available in your area with their tradition, language, and rate. Tap the one you like and you are done.

Are the pandits on PanditG verified?

Every pandit is screened for Vedic training and reviewed by devotees after each booking. Real ratings, not curated ones — you can read the most recent reviews before booking.

What does the puja samagri kit include?

Each kit is composed for a specific puja and includes camphor, kumkum, dhoop, dhaaga, and the dravyas the ritual calls for. The full list is shown on the product page before checkout.

Can I cancel a pandit booking?

Yes. Cancellations made more than twelve hours before the muhurat are free of charge. Within twelve hours of the muhurat, a cancellation fee of fifty percent of the total booking applies. Payment itself is collected only after the puja is completed and all items delivered.

How is the daily panchang calculated?

The panchang is recalculated for your exact location every sunrise, using the Drik Ganita system. Tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, and all major muhurats are updated automatically.

Which cities does PanditG serve?

Currently we serve only in Guwahati, Assam, but we are soon going to launch pan-India.

How much does a Satyanarayan Puja cost at home?

It depends on your city, the pandit's experience, and whether you add a samagri kit. A good app shows the final amount upfront with no hidden charges or booking fee.

What samagri is needed for Satyanarayan Puja?

Roli, kumkum, akshat, camphor, dhoop, ghee, panchamrit, banana, tulsi, betel, flowers, a coconut and kalash, plus churma prasad ingredients. A ready kit bundles all of it.

Which day is best for Satyanarayan Puja?

Purnima (full moon) is most traditional, and Kartik Purnima or Ekadashi are especially auspicious. Otherwise any day in an auspicious muhurat works.

Satyanarayan Puja at Home: Cost, Samagri & How to Book

Satyanarayan Puja is one of the most commonly performed household pujas — done on full-moon days, after a new beginning, or simply as thanksgiving. It is simple, accessible, and needs no special occasion. This guide covers what it involves, the samagri, the cost, and how to arrange it without the usual scramble.

What is Satyanarayan Puja

It is a worship of Lord Vishnu in his form as Satyanarayan — the embodiment of truth. The heart of the ritual is the Satyanarayan Vrat Katha, five short stories read aloud, followed by aarti and prasad. Families perform it for housewarmings, marriages, new jobs, recovery from illness, or on Purnima (full moon).

When to perform it

Purnima (full moon) is the most traditional day
Ekadashi and Kartik Purnima are especially auspicious
Otherwise, any day in an auspicious muhurat works

Evening is the usual time, but morning is fine too. Check the daily panchang for the muhurat in your city, and avoid rahu kalam. If you are unsure which window is best, read our guide on what Abhijit muhurat means.

Satyanarayan Puja samagri list

A standard kit includes:

Roli, kumkum, haldi, akshat (rice)
Camphor, dhoop, agarbatti, cotton wicks
Ghee, panchamrit (milk, curd, honey, ghee, sugar)
Banana, tulsi leaves, betel leaves and nuts
Flowers, a coconut, and a kalash
Sapatha / churma prasad ingredients (wheat flour, sugar, ghee, banana)

You can gather these yourself or order a ready, temple-grade samagri kit composed exactly for this puja so nothing is missing on the day.

How much does Satyanarayan Puja cost?

Cost varies by city, the pandit's experience, and whether you add samagri. Typically the dakshina (pandit fee) and the samagri are the two parts. A booking app shows the full amount upfront with no hidden charges, and the best ones charge no booking fee on top.
