Questions devotees ask us
Is this puja performed online or at the temple?
At Har Ki Pauri. You book and follow it online; the puja itself is performed at the temple by a verified pandit who takes the sankalp in your name.
Do I need to visit the temple?
No. Give the names and gotra for the sankalp when you book, and the pandit performs the puja on your behalf.
Who performs the puja?
A verified Stuti Mandir pandit at Har Ki Pauri. You will see the pandit’s name in your booking once assigned.
Can I provide my gotra?
Yes — the gotra is part of the sankalp and is asked when you book.
Can I book for my family?
Yes. Choose a package — up to 1 devotees — and add each person’s name.
Will I receive photos and video?

Can I cancel my booking?
Yes, up to 24 hours before the puja, from My Online Pujas; the full amount is refunded to your Stuti Mandir wallet.
Do I need to be present?
No. The pandit takes the sankalp with the names and gotra you give, makes the offering at the temple on the chosen date and uploads the photos and video to your booking.
