Can we book a puja from the UK?

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

Does British Summer Time change the puja time?

We schedule in your local clock time, so you don't need to think about it. The muhurat itself follows the Sun and Moon at your city, which we compute for the actual date.

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 the UK

Families anywhere in the UK 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 UK time and compute any muhurat for your own city, whether you live in London, Leicester, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow or anywhere else, so the puja happens at the right moment in your own sky.

01Booking across time zones from the UK

India is 4½ hours ahead of the UK during British Summer Time and 5½ hours ahead in winter (India does not change its clocks). That makes the UK one of the easiest places to arrange a video puja from: a 9 am puja in London is early afternoon in India, and a 6 pm puja is late evening there.

Weekend mornings suit most families, and weekday evenings work well too.

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.

In the UK the difference from India is small, but it still matters on the edges of a tithi: a festival that begins in the evening in India may begin in the afternoon in the UK, and the UK's long summer days and short winter days move sunrise-based timings a great deal. In northern cities, summer sunrise is very early and winter sunrise late, so a muhurat computed for India or even for London does not fit Glasgow.

04Pujas families in the UK often book

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

05Practical notes for your home

Indian grocery shops in most UK cities stock puja samagri, though the pandit arranges all the samagri for the puja itself, at no extra charge. Many UK homes have smoke alarms in the hallway near the living room; for a havan, open a window, keep the fire very small, or ask for the lamp-only form.

Grandparents in India can join the same call; with only a few 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.
