Yes, Mahamrityunjay Jaap can be done online
"Online" here does not mean a virtual or symbolic ritual. The full jaap is physically performed in Ujjain by our Vedic pandits — the mantra chanted count by count on the mala, Rudrabhishek on the Shivling, and the dashansh havan at the end. Only your participation is online: the sankalp is taken in the name you give, you watch on a live WhatsApp video call, and the recording and prasad are sent to you afterwards.
In the shastras the fruit of a jaap follows the sankalp, not the physical presence of the person it is for. Pujas have always been done on behalf of family members who could not attend — a patient in hospital, a parent in another city, a child abroad.

Who usually books it online
- A family with someone seriously ill, in hospital or before an operation — the most common reason. See the mantra for a sick family member.
- Someone in a difficult planetary period — Shani or Rahu mahadasha, Sade Sati, a maraka dasha.
- People living with fear, anxiety or repeated accidents.
- Families who want a yearly jaap for the health of the whole household, often on a birthday.
- Devotees in other cities or other countries who cannot come to Ujjain.
Which count to choose — 11,000, 51,000 or sawa lakh
- 11,000 — ₹5,500, 4 pandits. The most common form: an ordinary or recurring illness, a yearly family jaap, the start of a hard dasha, peace of mind before tests or travel.
- 51,000 — ₹15,000, 15 pandits. A serious illness, a hospital stay, long treatment, a maraka dasha, or one health crisis after another.
- Sawa lakh (1,25,000) — ₹31,000, 35 pandits. The complete anushthan: danger to life, ICU, cancer, a major operation.
How to book it — step by step
- Open the Mahamrityunjay Jaap booking page and choose the count.
- Pick the date. If there is an operation, choose a day before it.
- Enter the name and gotra of the person the jaap is for — yourself or a family member. If you do not know the gotra, write Kashyap; see what to do when you don't know your gotra.
- Give your WhatsApp number and pay by UPI, card or net banking; devotees abroad can pay by international card.
What happens on the day
- Sankalp — the pandit says the name and gotra you gave, and the purpose of the jaap. You can be on the call to hear it.
- Jaap — the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra chanted with the mala, count by count.
- Rudrabhishek on the Shivling with milk and water, and Shiva puja with flowers and bilva leaves.
- Dashansh havan once the count is complete.
What you can do at home on that day
Nothing is compulsory, but many families like to join in:
- Light a diya before a picture of Shiva while the jaap is on.
- Chant one mala of the mantra yourself, or simply "Om Namah Shivaya".
- Keep the day simple — sattvic food, no alcohol or meat, if it suits the household.
Booking from abroad
Devotees from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, the Gulf and elsewhere book the same way. The session time is shared in advance so you can join the live video in your own time zone, payment works with international cards, and the prasad is usually sent to family in India. Our puja services for NRIs page explains the rest.
