What the sankalp means at a havan or puja on Hello Fraands, how your ritual video reaches you, and how prasad delivery by courier works afterwards.

The sankalp
In Hindu tradition, the sankalp is the stated intention behind a ritual. At a public havan or puja on Hello Fraands, the pujari says one sankalp on behalf of every devotee taking part — for instance good health, education, the family’s wellbeing or peace for departed souls. You can read the event’s sankalp on the ritual page before booking.
There is no need to give a gotra or a wish; your name is enough, for the booking and the receipt. The yajman has never been required to stand at the altar — temples have performed pujas for devotees who could not be present for generations. Joining is how you take part, and the video follows afterwards.
Gotra
A gotra is your family lineage. Public havans and pujas do not ask for one. If a ritual ever needs your gotra and you don’t know it, priests follow custom and use “Kashyap”.
The video
Once the ritual is over, we email you the video to download. It also remains in My events, ready to download whenever you like.
At mountain temples, snow or landslides can take the network down. If that holds up your video, we let you know on WhatsApp and by email, and upload it as soon as our crew is back at the studio. See Temple visits, weather and delays.
Prasad
Pick prasad delivery at checkout and enter a delivery address. We post the prasad to you after the ritual. Rain, snow or landslides in the mountains can slow the courier.
Do I need to know my gotra?
No. Public havans and pujas do not ask for a gotra; the pujari says one sankalp on behalf of every devotee taking part.
How will I get the video?
It is emailed to you when the ritual ends, and you can download it from My events whenever you like.
How do I get prasad?
Add prasad delivery at checkout and we post it to you after the ritual.
