Book a Puja in India From New Zealand — Join Live or Attend in Person
New Zealand is the furthest ahead of any country we serve, which has one practical consequence worth knowing before you book: your date and India's date are not always the same, and the tithi is what the puja follows.
Pujas range from ₹2,100 (approx. NZ$48) to ₹31,000 (approx. NZ$705), all-inclusive — samagri, dakshina, video recording and prasad within India are part of the price, not extras.
When your puja will actually happen
We normally schedule bookings from New Zealand for a 6:00 – 9:00 am IST muhurat. A dawn muhurat in Ujjain is early afternoon in New Zealand on the same day — a good slot, and one you can attend without rearranging anything.
| Your time zone | Difference | Your local time |
|---|---|---|
| New Zealand, standard (NZST) | 6½ hours ahead of India | 12:30 pm – 3:30 pm, the same day |
| New Zealand, daylight saving (NZDT) | 7½ hours ahead of India | 1:30 pm – 4:30 pm, the same day |
India does not observe daylight saving, so the difference shifts when your own clocks change. We confirm the exact time in both IST and your local time on WhatsApp before anything is charged.
How it works from New Zealand

What devotees in New Zealand ask us most
Mahamrityunjay Jaap from New Zealand
The jaap most often booked from New Zealand, usually for a parent or relative in India who is unwell or facing surgery. Our Vedic pandits chant 11,000, 51,000 or 1.25 lakh mantras with the sankalp in the name you give. You join live on WhatsApp video at your local time or attend in person when in India, the price shows in NZD and you can pay with an international card or PayPal, and prasad goes to any address in India.
Your date is ahead of India's
New Zealand is six and a half to seven and a half hours ahead, so on some evenings your calendar date is already a day ahead of Ujjain. Pujas follow the Indian tithi, not your local date. We always confirm both so there is no confusion about which day yours falls on.
If you are Indo-Fijian
Many families here left India three or four generations ago, and gotra or the ancestral village is simply not known any more. That is a normal situation with an accepted answer, not an obstacle. Tell us and we will handle the sankalp properly.
Few pandits outside Auckland
Outside the main centres there is often no priest available at all for these rituals. That is much of why devotees here contact us — not convenience, but genuine absence of an alternative.
A good time of day
A dawn muhurat in Ujjain is your early afternoon. You can attend the whole ritual without an early start or a late night.
Paying from New Zealand
Every puja is charged in Indian rupees through Razorpay, which accepts international cards. The NZD figures on this page are approximate and are shown only so you know roughly what you are committing to — your bank converts at its own rate on the day, and may add a foreign transaction fee of its own.
Conversion rates on this page were last updated on September 4, 2026. If a payment is declined by your bank — which does happen with international transactions — message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange another way rather than leaving you stuck.
What we do not do
- We do not send pandits to addresses outside India. Our pandits perform pujas in Ujjain.
- We do not sell Bhasma Aarti tickets. Only the temple administration can. We will tell you how to book them yourself.
- We do not promise guaranteed outcomes from any ritual, and we will not tell you a problem is urgent to make you book faster.
- We do not ship prasad outside India — our published shipping policy is India-only. We send it to any Indian address you choose.
We would rather lose a booking than take one on a promise we cannot keep. If you need something we have ruled out here, tell us anyway — we will point you somewhere that can actually help.
Our Vedic Pandits
Every puja is performed by our own verified, experienced pandits in Ujjain — not a random priest booked on the day.
