Hi. What is the proper dakshina amount to give to panditji for ghar puja? And what kind of puja's are done for it like satyamarayn, vastu, etc.

haha tricky question to ask . i think it largely depends the neighborhood you live . in greater Boston area the base rate is $1000 once a pundit is called on . if the ceremony is a day long ( say marriage , bratamanda , ghar puja ) it can typically go upto $ 2000 . i ended up paying 1500 but that was in 2017 . A pundit from slum places like Brooklyn, queens-Jackson heights can be pretty reasonable, 500 bucks .

house puja is a long day work , have at least 1000 bucks for it , if you really like the way de does his stuff add 200 as tip but if you dont, take 500 out from that 1000. so to my little knowledge I would say btn 500-1500 .

If you are okay with online I can help you get Pandit at a cheaper price. I believe it's time to start Online Pandit from Nepal. (Kind of outsourcing)

Zeeh 2k for one day pandit work, I have never heard of that. Again I am not into puja stuff. I call pandit in Texas , couple of time for like 2 hours in morning every year . I generally give 100 bucks plus stuff.

He has continued to come when I call him, so I guess that is not horrible otherwise he would have probably say , I am busy find someone else .
