Short answer
Book 1–2 weeks ahead for muhurtham days and festivals (griha pravesh, weddings, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri, Diwali, Karthika Mondays), and 2–3 days ahead for an everyday puja. Express booking is available when you need a pandit sooner.
Good to know
- Popular muhurtham dates fill up first; book as soon as the date is fixed.
- Homams with 2 or more pandits need more notice than a 1-pandit puja.
- If no pandit is free, hold the slot with ₹101; the team assigns one within 24 hours or refunds it.
