Traditional Ritual Guidance from the Heart of Kashi
Meet Anirudh Sastri, a Kashi Tirth Purohit from a family rooted in Kashi for six generations, offering ancestral rituals, pooja, havan, and pilgrimage support.
Welcome to Kashi Purohits. My name is Anirudh Sastri, and I am a Kashi Tirth Purohit, or priest serving pilgrims and families who visit Varanasi for ancestral rituals, pooja, havan, temple worship, and other traditional ceremonies.
For generations, my family has been connected with Kashi. Our family has lived in Kashi for six generations, and we have been performing rituals such as Shraddha and other traditional ceremonies for three generations. This heritage has given us a deep connection with the sacred traditions, pilgrimage practices, and local arrangements associated with a visit to Kashi.
Our purpose is to help devotees perform their chosen rituals with dignity, understanding, and proper coordination. We explain the service requirements clearly and help arrange the priest, location, samagri, timings, and other details according to the selected ritual and family tradition.
Serving Pilgrims from Across India and Around the World
Pilgrims visit Kashi from many parts of India and from different countries. We welcome families and devotees speaking Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Hindi, English, and other languages, subject to the availability of the required priest or language support.
We understand that families may travel long distances for important ceremonies. Some visitors arrive with a clear understanding of the ritual they need, while others require guidance about the process, materials, location, timing, or participation. We take time to understand each enquiry and explain the proposed arrangements before confirmation.
If you are travelling from outside India, you may contact us in advance to discuss your preferred date, family requirements, number of participants, location, and communication preference.
Our Ancestral and Shraddha Ritual Services
We help coordinate traditional ancestral rituals for families visiting Kashi. These services may include Pind Daan, Tarpan, Asthi Visarjan, Tripindi Shraddha, Hotel booking, Tour guide, Photography and Panch Ghat Shraddha and Tarpan, along with other services.
Each family may follow different customs and traditions. Before booking, we discuss the ritual required, family details needed by the priest, suitable location, samagri, timing, duration, participation, and charges.
Our Approach to Serving Families
We believe that ritual coordination should be clear, respectful, and personal. We listen to the purpose of your visit, explain the proposed arrangements, and help you understand what is required before the ceremony begins.
Families can enquire about the priest, ritual method, location, samagri, timing, estimated duration, language support, transportation, and charges. We encourage every family to review these details and confirm them in writing before making payment or finalising travel plans.
Our role is to assist with traditional religious and pilgrimage arrangements. We do not guarantee spiritual, medical, financial, personal, or life outcomes. Families should follow their own customs and consult the selected priest for ritual-specific guidance.
