General description
The website is an internet-based platform that provides Vedic astrology consultations, anushthans, and energized yantras (collectively, the "Content").
Consultation Services are held exclusively over a normal phone call or WhatsApp call and are currently offered across eight categories: (1) Indian Clients—Online Consultation, (2) NRI / Working Abroad—Online Consultation, (3) In-Person Meetings at the Gurgaon Residence, (4) Kundli Milan (horoscope matching), (5) Birth Time Rectification & Analysis, (6) Prashna Kundali, (7) Advance 3 Appointments—Full Year, and (8) Past Life Karmic Energy Study.
Anushthans are performed with sankalp taken in the client's name and gotra, with prasad couriered upon completion. Yantras are brass and copper plates stated to be energized with a prescribed mantra count prior to dispatch.
Video calls are not offered under any circumstances. All consultations are conducted by voice call over telephone or WhatsApp only.
- Provide current, complete, and accurate information about yourself, including birth date, time, place, name, and, where relevant, gotra, as prompted by the Website or our representatives.
- Maintain and update such information as required, with a view to keeping it accurate and current.
Registration, booking, and eligibility
By using this website, you confirm that you are over the age of 18 years and are competent to enter into a legally binding and enforceable contract under the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The Website shall not be held responsible for misuse by any person, including a minor. You may book on behalf of, or ask questions relating to, a minor family member, provided the booking and payment are made and authorized by you as the adult client.
To avail services, you must provide accurate, current, and complete Booking Data, including your preferred consultation category, contact number, and birth details.
Bookings may be confirmed via WhatsApp at +91 96504 91836 or +91 98107 18896, or through the website's booking system. If supplied information is inaccurate, incomplete, or untrue, we reserve the right to decline, suspend, or cancel your booking.
The right to avail of services booked by you is personal and not transferable, except where expressly booked for a family member as described above.
You understand that personal data, including payment or card details, transmitted over the internet may be susceptible to misuse, hacking, theft, or fraud and that the website and its payment providers have no control beyond taking reasonable security measures.
We do not permit use of the Services by residents of jurisdictions that prohibit astrological or allied spiritual services, or where use would violate applicable local religious or legal restrictions.
Phone / WhatsApp consultation
The website provides services by ordinary phone call and WhatsApp voice call with the practitioner engaged by the website. You consent to receiving a call on your provided mobile number at the scheduled time, even if the number is registered under Do Not Disturb, solely to deliver the booked service.
Standard sittings are thirty (30) minutes for individual consultations and one (1) hour for couples' consultations, unless a different duration is specified for a particular category, such as the one-hour Past Life Karmic Energy Study. Urgent or express slots may carry different pricing and turnaround as stated when booking.
Anushthans and yantras
Anushthans are performed with sankalp taken in the client's name and gotra as supplied at booking. You are solely responsible for their accuracy, and no liability shall attach to the website for consequences arising from inaccurate details.
Prasad, where applicable, shall be couriered to the supplied address after completion. We will use reasonable efforts to assist with delivery issues but are not liable for delay, loss, or damage in transit after handover to the courier.
Yantras described as energized follow traditional practice through recitation of a prescribed mantra count before dispatch. This reflects a traditional and spiritual process, not a scientific, medical, or empirically verifiable claim, and no warranty is made as to any material or spiritual effect.
Product images are for reference only. Minor variations in material, finish, size, or engraving may occur, particularly in handcrafted brass and copper items, and do not alone qualify for a refund.
Website content
The website and its content are private property. All interaction with the Website, including guidance received during a consultation, must comply with these Terms.
You shall not transmit through the Website, WhatsApp, or related channels material that is unlawful, abusive, defamatory, invasive of privacy, vulgar, obscene, profane, or otherwise objectionable, or that encourages criminal conduct or civil liability.
We may suspend or terminate access or refuse Services for violation of these Terms, and may modify or discontinue any feature, content, category, price, or service availability without prior notice.
Nothing on the website, or said during a consultation or anushthan, is medical, legal, financial, or psychiatric advice. Astrological consultations are for personal insight, guidance, and reflection only. Consult appropriately qualified professionals for diagnosis, treatment, legal counsel, or financial decisions.
We do not guarantee any specific outcome, result, or benefit from any consultation, anushthan, or yantra. Access and use are entirely at the client's own risk.
Privacy policy
By using this website and its services, you acknowledge and consent to collection and use of personal data—including birth details, name, gotra, contact information, and payment data—in compliance with the Information Technology Act, 2000; the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011; and, where applicable, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
We take reasonable steps to protect your data but are not liable for unauthorized access caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including your negligence in sharing account or payment credentials. We treat personal and birth details with discretion and confidentiality and do not sell personal information to third parties.
Breach and termination
We may, without prior notice, decline, modify, reschedule, or discontinue a booked service where the client supplied false, incomplete, or misleading booking data, or where continuing the service may expose the website to legal liability.
Violation of these Terms may lead to immediate cancellation of a pending booking without refund, except as provided under Delivery, Cancellation, and Refund. Your relationship with the website is limited to that of a client using services personally and acting on your own behalf.
Delivery, cancellation, and refund
- No refund shall be processed for a missed appointment slot. It is the Client's responsibility to be reachable by phone or WhatsApp at the scheduled time.
- Once an anushthan has commenced through sankalp in the client's name and gotra, or a yantra has entered production or energization, the order cannot be cancelled and no refund shall be processed.
- Consultation cancellation or rescheduling requests must be made at least 48 hours before the appointment to be eligible for a refund or future-session credit. Later requests are not eligible.
- No refund shall be processed where incorrect birth details, name, gotra, or contact information was supplied. Verify all information before submission.
- No refund shall be processed due to dissatisfaction with a prediction, reading, or remedy because astrology is a matter of traditional belief and interpretation and outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
- Shop items may be returned only where materially defective or damaged on arrival and reported within 48 hours with photographic evidence. Custom, consecrated, or perishable items, including prasad, are not returnable except for a genuine defect.
- Technical delays or call issues will be assessed case by case. A session not delivered in full may, at our discretion, be rescheduled or partially refunded, but this is not guaranteed.
- Approved refunds shall be processed to the original payment method within 4–5 business days, less payment gateway charges actually incurred where applicable.
- We may decline or cancel a booking due to practitioner non-availability, pricing error, technical issue, or another reason. If we cancel after payment, the amount paid shall be refunded in full.
