Prices below are shown in £ for reference; you are charged in INR, so your bank applies its own rate. No hidden surcharge, no "call our India office".
A native GBP checkout is on the roadmap — today you can book with a UK card and be billed in INR. Email below to get notified when £ pricing goes live in your postcode.
Why UK devotees use Darshya
Sri Mandir is built for India domestic. The UK Hindu diaspora needs different things: £ reference pricing, GMT-aware aarti schedules, video proof your relatives in India can actually watch, and support that responds in your timezone.
Book with a UK card
UK cards accepted through Razorpay. Billing is in INR today — a native GBP rail is on the roadmap.
Indian temple bookings from anywhere in the UK
Rudrabhishek at Kashi Vishwanath, Satyanarayan at Tirupati, Lakshmi Puja at home temple — booked from London at IST timings.
Live aarti darshan, GMT/BST adjusted
Watch live aarti from Indian temples on your schedule. Calendar shows IST → GMT auto-converted.
Video proof on every puja
Priest uploads sankalp + main ritual + aarti video. Your grandmother in Ahmedabad sees the same proof as you in Wembley.
80G receipts (India tax) on donations
For UK donors with Indian tax filing obligations, every donation comes with a valid 80G receipt from the donee temple.
WhatsApp support — UK timezone
Customer support response by 10am GMT. Real human, not a bot.

Sample pujas in £
These are our live catalogue prices — the same amount a devotee booking from India pays. There is no NRI surcharge and no separate diaspora tier. The £ figures are a reference conversion of that exact price, not a quote in £.
| Puja | Category | Price charged (₹) | Approx. in £ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rudrabhishek | Planetary remedy | ₹1,100 | ≈ £10 |

Reference FX: £1 ≈ ₹105 (spot, 2026-06-15), reviewed quarterly. You are billed in INR, so the exact £ amount depends on your card issuer's rate and any foreign-transaction fee on the day. A ₹51 platform fee is added at checkout.
