We have put in our best effort to include all major temples. If you cannot find your temple please email us at eprarthana@vsnl.com and we will be more than happy to include it. Another thing to keep in mind while searching for temples is that we have omitted terms like 'Sree', 'Arulmigu' etc before the temple name to facilitate searching. Therefore if you want to look up Kapaleeswar temple in Mylapore, search by the letter 'K' Kapaleeswarar temple and not 'A' Arulmigu Kapaleeswarar temple.

When your order is placed on the web site, you will see a "Confirmation" page. Your order is then sent over a secure connection to our Office where it will then be processed. After the archana has been performed and the blessings delivered we will send you an e-mail to that effect.

We will be happy to change the address where the blessings are to be delivered or date of delivery as long as your order is not on its way to being delivered. To request a change to your order's delivery address or date, please send us an e-mail and the new address. However, once an order is placed we cannot cancel it.
