- Tell us who the puja is for, their city, and where the rest of the family will join from.
- We fix a time that suits every time zone and send one Google Meet link to share with the family.

Book a Annaprashan Sanskar (अन्नप्राशन संस्कार) performed live for your family on a one-on-one video call. A pandit we work with recites the sankalp with your names and gotra and guides each step, while your family makes the offerings at your own altar at home, anywhere in the world.
01What the Annaprashan Sanskar is, and when families hold it
Annaprashan is the sanskar of a baby's first solid food, traditionally in the sixth month for a boy and the fifth or seventh for a girl. The child is fed kheer from a silver spoon after a puja.
Many families then place a few objects before the child, such as a book, a pen and money, and watch which they reach for.
02What the Annaprashan Sanskar is traditionally done for
- Traditionally done to bless the child's first solid food.
- Traditionally done to bring the family together for the child.
- Traditionally done for the child's health.
When: in the fifth to seventh month, on a muhurat chosen for the child.
03Count, duration, and what is included
Annaprashan vidhi (Basic), with Navagraha puja (Advance), with a havan (Premium) and with the Satyanarayan Katha (Super Premium). Typical durations are listed in each package below; the price, the date, the time and how long the puja takes are confirmed with you on WhatsApp when you book.

04How the Annaprashan Sanskar works by video call
The Annaprashan Sanskar is performed live by an experienced pandit we work with, on a one-on-one video call with your family. You stay at home, anywhere in the world, and do the offerings with your own hands while the pandit leads. The steps:
- Book on WhatsApp: Message us on WhatsApp with the puja you want, your city and country, and your time zone. The button on this page fills in the puja and your time zone for you; you add your city.
- Choose the date and muhurat: We suggest dates and times in your own local time. Where the puja calls for a muhurat (an auspicious window), it is worked out from the panchang for the city you are in, not for India.
- Samagri arranged for you: The pandit arranges all the samagri for the puja, at no extra charge; you only need a clean, quiet place at home to sit for the call.
- Join the video call: At the agreed time you join a one-on-one video call with the pandit from your home altar, on WhatsApp video or Google Meet, whichever your family prefers. It is your family's call alone.
- Sankalp with your names and gotra: The pandit begins with the sankalp: the formal statement of the place, the date, the names of the family members, your gotra and the intention of the puja.
- The puja: The pandit recites the mantras and guides each offering step by step, so that the hands placing the flowers, the water and the lamp are your own.
- Aarti: The puja closes with aarti: you wave the lamp at your altar while the pandit sings, and the whole family can join in.
- Prasad guidance: The pandit tells you how to offer and share the prasad, and what to do afterwards with the flowers, the kalash water and the other offerings.
On the call the pandit performs the Ganesh puja and the sankalp for the child, guides the first feeding of kheer, and closes with blessings.
05Who it suits
Parents and grandparents, often in different cities or countries, who want everyone to join.
06Timing and muhurat
In the baby's fifth to seventh month, on a muhurat for your city. The date is worked out for your city; see the Muhurta Finder.
07Booking, payment and rescheduling
All bookings are made on WhatsApp. You pay on WhatsApp by UPI (in India), PayPal, USDT or card-to-USDT; nothing is paid on this website. Payments are not refundable, but you can reschedule up to two times if you tell us at least 48 hours before the puja (see our refund policy).
The call is on WhatsApp video or Google Meet, whichever your family prefers. The pandit performs the puja in Sanskrit and speaks Hindi; a team member who speaks English joins the live call to help families who prefer English.
If your family cannot attend live, the pandit performs the puja for you and we send you a video of it instead. It is either a live call or a video recording, never both: a live call is not recorded. The price, the date, the time and how long the puja takes are confirmed with you on WhatsApp when you book.
