The process

How your family's arrangements work

One guided journey, from understanding your family’s tradition to priest-advised arrangements in India and a clear record of the outcome.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your loved one and family

    Share the details you know about your loved one, your family's religious tradition, ancestral origins and any known priest, Gotra or Bahi connection. You can begin even when some answers are unknown.

  2. 02

    We establish your family's traditional path

    We review your family's religious and ancestral background, identify the appropriate priestly route and work with the relevant Hindu priest to establish which rites and observances apply.

  3. 03

    We coordinate the agreed work in India

    We arrange the priest-advised rites or observances and, where relevant, coordinate the family's Bahi or traditional register work. Indian Archive handles the normal India-side communication, payments, customary offerings, ritual materials and coordination included in the service.

  4. 04

    You receive your Completion Report

    Your report records what was arranged, what was completed, who was involved, the outcome of any relevant family-register work and any supporting material made available and permitted.

Begin with what you know

You can begin even if you do not know every detail. Ancestral village, family name and Gotra where relevant can help identify your family’s traditional route. Your progress is saved, so you can start now and return after speaking with relatives if necessary. “I don't know” remains available where Indian Archive can genuinely investigate or determine the answer.
