Booking a puja online should feel as trustworthy as standing in the temple yourself. Before you pay any service, look for these five things.
- A named temple and a named priest. You should know exactly where your puja will happen and who will perform it.
- Your sankalp, said aloud. Proof should include your family's names and gotra being read, not just a generic video.
- A time stamp and location. A photo or video with the date, time and temple location is much harder to reuse.
- The full price up front. Puja, dakshina, prasad, shipping and taxes should all be shown before you pay.
- A clear refund policy. You should know what happens if the puja is delayed, cancelled or the proof is wrong.
These are the standards Aaradhya is built on. If anything ever looks wrong with a proof pack, a real person reviews it.
