Questions devotees ask us
What is chadhava or bhet?
Chadhava (also called bhet or arpan) is an offering made to a deity — flowers, bel patra, sindoor, chunari, bhog, oil or sesame — usually with a short sankalp. On Stuti Mandir, a pandit at the temple makes the offering in your name on the day you choose.
How is it different from an online puja?
A chadhava is a single offering, short and simple. An online puja is a longer ritual such as an abhishek, havan or path. Both are performed at the temple with a sankalp in your name, and you receive photos and video.
How will I know my offering was made?
The pandit uploads photos and a short video of your offering to your booking, and you are notified when the sankalp is taken and when the offering is complete.
Can I offer in my family’s name?
Yes. Add the names and gotra of everyone the offering is for; packages for a couple or a family include more names.
What does “Opening soon” mean?
The offering is being arranged with a pandit at that temple. Tap “Notify me” and we will tell you on WhatsApp when booking opens. You never pay for an offering that can’t be made yet.
Which day should I offer?
Traditionally Monday is for Shiva, Tuesday for Hanuman, Wednesday for Ganesha, Thursday for Vishnu, Friday for the Devi and Lakshmi, and Saturday for Shani and Rahu. Each offering shows the days it is usually made.
