Question 1

What is Darshya?

Accepted Answer

Darshya is India's devotional super-app at darshya.online. Devotees worldwide book pujas at verified temples with priest video proof, watch live darshan, read panchang, talk to verified astrologers, donate to gaushalas with 80G receipts, and shop sacred items — all in one place. Available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, and Marathi.

Question 2

Who founded Darshya?

Accepted Answer

Darshya was founded by Raghav Sindhwani (Co-founder, Product & AI; previously Senior AI Product Manager at Bounteous) and Atishey Jain (Co-founder, Engineering; previously software engineer at Amazon) in 2026. Both are based in India and ship the product as a small, founder-led team.

Question 3

Is Darshya legitimate and safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every puja booking on Darshya requires the priest to upload a video recording before payout — no video, no money. Priests are Aadhaar-verified, temples are vetted before they go live, and 80G receipts use real PAN and donee 80G registration numbers. Payments process through Razorpay (domestic INR) and Stripe (NRI USD).

Question 4

How is Darshya different from Sri Mandir, Utsav, or AstroSage?

Accepted Answer

Darshya is the only Indian devotional app that makes priest video proof mandatory for every puja booking — not optional, not opt-out. It also offers transparent NRI pricing in USD, gaushala donations with real 80G receipts, and one unified app for puja, darshan, astrology, panchang, gaushala seva, and store. Sri Mandir focuses on puja-only; Utsav focuses on community; AstroSage focuses on jyotish.

Question 5

Where can I download or use Darshya?

Accepted Answer

Use Darshya on the web at https://darshya.online from any device. The Android app is rolling out on Google Play. The iOS app is on the roadmap. NRI devotees in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the UAE, and Singapore can book and donate in USD with full 80G receipts where eligible.
