How BookMyPandiit works
Five steps, and what happens to your money at each.
The website is where you read; the app is where you book. Nothing here takes a payment, and the price on this site is the price the app charges.
-
Search
Find the puja by name, occasion or city — every page here is a guide to what you are booking.
-
Select & book
Pick a named pandit and a muhurat window. Booking happens on the app.
-
Secure payment
Pay the itemised price. The money is held, not paid out.
-
Service delivered
The pandit arrives, performs the vidhi, and the family confirms completion with an OTP.
-
Review & repeat
Payment is released to the pandit. Your review helps the next family choose.
Payment released after completion
Your payment sits with us — not with the pandit — until the puja is done and confirmed with an OTP the family reads out. After a 24-hour window, the package price reaches the pandit in full.
Replacement support
If a pandit cannot come, we offer another of the same language and tradition before the muhurat, and you approve the swap. If you would rather not proceed, the booking is refunded.
Nothing collected at the door
Dakshina is inside the package price. If anyone asks for more in person, report it in the app — the booking is refunded while we look into it.
Questions about the process
Can I book on the website?
No. The website has no cart, no checkout and no login by design. Booking happens in the app, where the slot hold, the OTP and the payment protection live.
In short
The order of the steps is the point of the design. A named pandit, his checks and the full price are all shown before any payment is taken — not a category, not a range, and not a person assigned afterwards. If the pandit you chose cannot keep the booking, the replacement is offered with the same language and tradition and you approve the swap before the puja rather than hearing about it after.
Money is held rather than passed on. The payment sits with the platform until the puja is recorded as completed, and the pandit is paid after that — which is what makes the completion step something other than a formality. Every line of the price is itemised beforehand: the pandit's fee, the samagri, travel, the platform fee, a temple charge where one applies, and GST.
The website and the app do different jobs on purpose. This site is where a rite, a temple, a city or a date is looked up; the booking and the payment happen in the app, and no page here takes a payment or publishes a pandit's phone number. That is why every path through this site ends at the same place.
