Can we book a puja from Dubai?

Yes. Families anywhere in the UAE book on WhatsApp; we schedule the puja in UAE time and compute any muhurat for your city.

Can we hold a havan in an apartment in Dubai?

Check your building's rules and smoke detectors first. If a fire is not possible, the pandit performs the havan portion with lamps and mantras instead.

How do I book the puja by video call, and how do I pay?

Tap "Book on WhatsApp" and send the message with your city and time zone. We agree the date, the time and the details with you there. You pay on WhatsApp by UPI (in India), PayPal, USDT or card-to-USDT; nothing is paid on this website.

What if we need to change the date?

You can reschedule up to two times if you tell us at least 48 hours before the puja. Payments are not refundable; the refund policy page has the full terms.

One-on-One Puja by Video Call for Families in Dubai and the UAE

Families in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and across the UAE can book a puja performed live for them on a one-on-one video call with an experienced pandit in India. We schedule it in UAE time and compute any muhurat for your own city, so a Griha Pravesh in a new Dubai apartment or a Satyanarayan Katha on a Friday evening happens at the right moment where you are.

01Booking across time zones from the UAE

India is 1½ hours ahead of the UAE all year round, as neither country uses daylight saving time. That makes the UAE the simplest place abroad to arrange a video puja from: almost any time in your day is also a good time for the pandit.

Many families in the UAE prefer weekend mornings and evenings, and the small time difference means grandparents in India can easily join.

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:

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.

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.

With only 1½ hours between the UAE and India, festival dates usually match, but not always: when a tithi begins close to sunrise, the UAE's later sunrise can move a festival by a day. We compute the tithi and muhurat for your city every time.

04Pujas families in the UAE often book

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

05Practical notes for your home

Puja samagri is widely available in the UAE's Indian supermarkets and markets, though the pandit arranges all the samagri for the puja itself, at no extra charge. Many apartment buildings have sensitive smoke detectors and rules about open flames; check before any havan, or ask the pandit for the lamp-only form.

Families who move often for work sometimes hold a short Griha Pravesh or Vastu prayer in each new apartment; the pandit can suggest a simple form.

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.
