The Gregorian date moves each year with the panchanga. Message us and we will confirm this year's date and the muhurat converted to your local time — before you commit to anything.
Why Families Abroad Book This One
Bihari and Purvanchali families abroad keep the vrat themselves but ask for the puja and the arghya to be performed at the family home or ghat in India in their name, with the thekua and the daura prepared traditionally. Where a parent in India is too elderly to stand in water, we arrange for the arghya to be offered on their behalf.
What the Pandit Performs
The full sequence, whether or not you are on the call. Anything your family tradition adds or omits, tell us and we follow yours.
