Pandit booking · पंडित बुकिंग

Verified priests, fair dakshina, instant booking.

Five priests, four cities, fourteen languages between them. Razorpay Route splits the booking into priest 85% / platform 10% / GST 5%. Every booking gets a review.

How it works

Step 1

Pick puja + priest

Choose a puja type (Griha Pravesh, Satyanarayan Katha, Rudrabhishek, etc.). Filter by city, sect (Vaishnav / Shaiv / Shakt / Smart / Jain), and language.

Step 2

Pay via Razorpay

The dakshina amount + samagri (if requested) is taken via Razorpay live. We split it instantly: 85% to the priest, 10% to Empire Apps, 5% GST.

Step 3

Puja day + review

The priest arrives at the scheduled time (or hosts a video-call puja). After the ceremony, you submit a one-tap rating. Your dakshina is auto-released.

Note: Pooja chassis returns lunar tithi to ~30-45 min accuracy in v1. For wedding and griha-pravesh muhurat, please verify with your family priest before locking the booking.

Razorpay Route split, in plain numbers

You pay Rs 5,500 dakshina. Razorpay Route runs three transfers inside one charge: Rs 4,675 to the priest's verified Razorpay account (85%), Rs 550 to Empire Apps platform (10%), Rs 275 as GST collected for remittance via IRP (5%). The split is on-ledger; both you and the priest can verify it in your respective Razorpay dashboards.

Chassis module: @empire-apps/chassis/pooja → buildRazorpayOrder(). The Razorpay-side ledger is the source of truth, not our own log.
