FAQ

How do I get the file?

Right after payment you get a download button on screen and a link by email. Print it at home (A4) or keep it on your phone for the puja.

Which edition should I buy?

If you read Hindi comfortably, the Hindi booklet has everything for the puja. If you want to read the katha in English letters, take the English & Hinglish booklet. If you want both languages plus the sargi plan and keepsake pages, take the Complete Kit.

I live outside India. Are the dates right for me?

The kit gives New Delhi timings and the US date (Wed 28 Oct 2026), and shows you how to check moonrise for your own city. Checkout is in Indian rupees. If your card does not work, write to dhimistudio@gmail.com. The guide is also on Gumroad (international, $3.99) if you prefer to pay in US dollars.

Our family tells a different katha.

The kit uses the most widely told Veeravati story and notes that many families also tell the stories of Karwa or Savitri. Your family's version is just as valid.

Is this medical advice?

No. The kit describes traditional practice. If you are pregnant, diabetic, on medication or unwell, talk to your doctor before a nirjala fast.
