Bahi work within your family's arrangements
Where your Hindu family has a traditional register connection, Indian Archive identifies or confirms the appropriate custodian, communicates your loved one's and family details, follows the work through and records the outcome. This is part of the overall bereavement service, not a separate product.
Begin your family's arrangementsA record kept across generations
In some Hindu communities, names, lineage and family events were written by hand into a Bahi or Vahi kept by a hereditary priest or record-holding family. Practices vary, and not every Hindu family maintains the same register route.
You do not need to know the custodian or centre before you begin. Share the ancestral information, family names, Gotra where relevant, old receipts, contacts, photographs or memories you have. “I don't know” is accepted while you build the information.
We work with the custodian, never around them
The hereditary custodian decides what can properly be entered and what may be shared. Some accept a remote update, some leave space for a future family signature, and some require an in-person step. We explain which applies and include the outcome in your Completion Report.
A photograph, scan or copy of a register page depends on the custodian and cannot be guaranteed. Any supporting material provided and permitted is included.
