About Booking Sarathi

Why we exist

Arranging a puja, a bratabandha or a wedding far from home usually means a chain of phone calls: who is available, what dakshina is fitting, which date is right, what to buy. Families new to a city often don't know where to start, and Pandit Jis spend hours answering the same questions.

Booking Sarathi puts that in one place. You see who serves your area, what each service includes and each date's tithi on the Nepali calendar, and you see Booking Sarathi's estimate for the day you choose. You settle the rest by chatting with Pandit Ji. Pandit Ji confirms the timing himself, never a computer, and you both get reminders and a checklist before the day.

What the name means

A sarathi is a charioteer, the one who knows the road and gets you there. Krishna served Arjuna as his sarathi. We don't perform the ceremony; we make sure you reach Pandit Ji for it, with nothing left unclear. Our mark is the chariot.

How it works

• Every provider is reviewed by our team before their listing goes live.
• In our tradition a pandit does not name a price for his service, so the site shows none. Booking Sarathi shows you its own estimate for your day, and you settle the rest with Pandit Ji directly.
• Everything is available in Nepali and English, including reminders.
• For pujas, each date shows the Nepali calendar date, and Pandit Ji confirms the final timing personally.

What's next

Pandit Sewa is open today. Other ceremony services open as families ask for them.
