Guides before you book

Short notes on choosing a ritual, preparing the home, and reading what a consultation can and cannot tell you.

These guides are practical notes for families using Book Pandit Ji. They are not a substitute for the Pandit or astrologer you book, and they do not promise a result.

Choosing the Right Puja

Start from the occasion: griha pravesh, satyanarayan, namkaran, mundan, anniversary, or a havan for a specific sankalp. The package page lists the duration, whether samagri is included, and the cities where a visit is available.

If you are unsure which ritual fits, book a short astrology consultation first, or call support and describe the occasion. Do not add extra ceremonies you have not discussed with the family.

What to Keep Ready at Home

Clear a clean corner, keep drinking water nearby, and tell the building or society about the visit if a havan will produce smoke. If your package excludes samagri, the listing says so — arrange those items before the Pandit arrives.

Share landmark, floor, and a working phone number in the booking note. A wrong address is the most common reason a visit starts late.

Reading a Kundli Match

Kundli and matching need an accurate birth date, time, and place for each person. A guessed time changes the chart. If the time is unknown, say so in the booking so the astrologer can tell you what can still be read.

A match is guidance for a conversation between families. It is not a yes or no decision by itself, and it is not medical or legal advice.

Caring for Rudraksha and Malas

Keep rudraksha and malas dry, wipe them after wear, and store them away from perfume and soap. Gemstones should stay in the pouch they arrived in until you have confirmed the recommendation with the astrologer who suggested them.
