Questions about MyPujaWorld

What is MyPujaWorld?

MyPujaWorld is a free guide to Hindu festivals, pujas and temples. It shows community celebrations near you on a map, exact festival timings for your city, the daily panchang, vrat and muhurat dates, puja vidhis, samagri lists, aartis with meanings and prasad recipes — in India and abroad.

Is MyPujaWorld free to use?

Yes. Finding events and reading every guide is free without an account. A free account lets you save events and get alerts, list your own celebration, review events, and follow temples and communities.

How are festival dates and timings calculated?

Tithis, nakshatras, sunrise and sunset are calculated astronomically for each city using the Lahiri ayanamsa and checked against published panchangs. Where traditions differ, the commonly observed date is shown with a note.

How do I list my community puja or festival event?

Create a free account and use "List your event". Add the venue, dates and programme; our team reviews new listings within a day, and you can post updates and answer questions from devotees.

Can I find a pandit if I live abroad?

Yes. Every puja page has a "Request a pandit" form, and E-Puja lets a pandit in India perform the puja live by video in your family's name. There is no payment on MyPujaWorld — a coordinator contacts you on WhatsApp.

Organising a puja?

List your community celebration for free so families nearby can find it — with timings, directions and WhatsApp sharing.
