Our story

We are
keepers of the bridge
between here and there.

Founded in 2019 by three Gayawal families with a combined lineage of four hundred years, Pitrupaksha.org was built for every Hindu who has moved across an ocean and wondered — who performs the rites when we cannot go home?

What we hold sacred

Vidhivat, always

Rites performed exactly as scripture prescribes. No shortcuts, no improvisation for the camera.

Full transparency

Samagri photographed, recordings delivered, invoices itemised. You see what we do, because we trust that you should.

Lineage over scale

We will never use pandits we have not personally vetted. Growth waits on lineage.

Our pandits

Eight of one hundred eighty.

Every pandit is a resident of the site they serve, from initiated lineage families, fluent in at least two Indian languages and English.
