About

Shriyam

Features
Read full description

A verified purohit in India guides your family's pooja one-to-one over video — in your language, at your own home, on a date that suits you. You are the yajamana; your purohit guides every step. Choose from festival sevas and everyday pujas & japams: anniversaries and birthdays, a child's namakaranam or annaprasana, vrathams, abhishekams, Navagraha shanti and nakshatra japams, a bhoomi puja for new ground. Share your sankalpa details — names, gotra, nakshatra — so the pooja is performed for your family specifically, not generically. A purohit who matches your language and sampradaya accepts your seva, and you are told who is coming. Your samagri list arrives well in advance, with what to substitute if something is hard to find where you live. Every seva is recorded and is yours to keep. Full refund until 48 hours before your slot. Dakshina afterwards is entirely optional, and 100% goes to your purohit.
