For Pandit Jis

What it is for you

Families who do not know a Pandit Ji in their city find you here. They see your page, the ceremonies you offer and the days you have open on a Nepali calendar, and send you a request.

You talk with the family in a chat, agree the details, and confirm the booking. Nothing is fixed until you confirm.

Your dakshina is yours to set

• For each ceremony, at each place you offer it, you give two amounts: the lowest and the highest dakshina you would accept.
• Families never see those two amounts. They see one figure: Booking Sarathi's estimate for the day they chose, worked out from yours.
• The amount is agreed between you and the family, and you confirm it.
• The auspicious time is yours to check and confirm. The site never confirms a muhurta on its own.

What it costs you

Applying is free, and there is no monthly charge for your page. The family gives the dakshina to you. The site does not handle money.

What families see of you

• Your name and photograph, where you trained and how long you have served, the languages you speak, the city you are based in, the ceremonies you offer and your open days.
• Your two amounts are never shown.
• A family reaches you through the chat that opens when they send a request. Your number is not printed on your page unless you choose to show it.

How to join

• Prove your email with a code we send you.
• Four short steps: the name families will see, the ceremonies you offer with your two amounts, where and when you work, and your login.
• The Booking Sarathi team reads every application itself and may call you.
• You get an email when you are approved, and your page goes live.
