One-on-One Puja by Video Call for Families in Singapore

01Booking across time zones from Singapore

Singapore is 2½ hours ahead of India all year round, as neither uses daylight saving time. A 10 am puja in Singapore is 7:30 am in India, and a 7 pm puja is 4:30 pm there, so almost any slot in your day is easy to arrange.

Near the equator, sunrise and sunset in Singapore change very little through the year, which makes sunrise-based timings steady from month to month.

We schedule in your local time. When a puja needs a muhurat, it is computed for your city with the same panchang engine behind our Muhurta Finder: sunrise, the tithi and the nakshatra are worked out where you are, because they are what the muhurat rests on. The pandit joins from India at the matching Indian time, so you never have to convert anything yourself.

02How a one-on-one video puja works

The puja is performed live by an experienced pandit we work with, on a one-on-one video call with your family, not a shared stream. You keep the altar at home and do the offerings yourselves while the pandit leads:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Aarti: The puja closes with aarti: you wave the lamp at your altar while the pandit sings, and the whole family can join in.
8. 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.

03Festival dates abroad

Hindu festivals follow the tithi (lunar day) and, for many festivals, the tithi at local sunrise or at a particular part of the day. Because sunrise and the tithi's start move with longitude, a festival can fall on a different calendar date where you live than in India.

Singapore is ahead of India, so a tithi that starts late at night in India can already be in force at your sunrise, and occasionally a festival falls a day earlier on your calendar. We compute the tithi and muhurat for Singapore every time.

04Pujas families in Singapore often book

• Griha Pravesh Puja by video call
• Satyanarayan Puja by video call

Any other puja from our catalogue can be arranged the same way; ask on WhatsApp.

05Practical notes for your home

Little India and neighbourhood shops stock puja samagri, though the pandit arranges all the samagri for the puja itself, at no extra charge. HDB flats and condos are compact and often have rules about open flames and smoke; keep any havan very small with windows open, or ask the pandit for the lamp-only form.

Grandparents in India can join the same call; with only 2½ hours' difference, both households can usually find a comfortable time.

06Booking, 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.
