**iPhone DUO ready with iOS 27 and iPadOS 27** Panch Shakti is the private, invite-only app for the Panch Gaam community — Balisana, Bhandu, Manund, Sander and Valam — and the families who belong to it. FAMILY TREE Grow your family's tree across generations. Add parents, spouses and children, and each person becomes a leaf with their own biography: native gaam, education, profession and life events. Choose from three tree styles. FAMILY PHOTOS Keep shared family albums and profile pictures in one place. Location data is removed from photos on your device before they are uploaded. COMMUNITY EVENTS See what is happening across the community and RSVP for your family in one tap. MATRIMONY, PRIVATELY Families can publish matrimony profiles managed by their family admin. A family's details stay hidden until both families accept an interest, so nothing is shared until everyone agrees. Kundli's are available on demand to those interested for free MESSAGES Message your family, and families you have connected with, using end-to-end encryption. PRIVACY FIRST - Invite-only: families join with an invitation, members with their family's code. - You choose who sees your contact details: family only, the community directory, or nobody. - Children are never listed in the community directory. - No ads, no tracking, and your data is never sold. - Delete your account at any time from inside the app. Panch Shakti requires an invitation. New families can request one at support@5lpusa.com. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
