Shipping & Delivery Policy

1Free, worldwide, all-inclusive

Every price on AstroBhava.com includes delivery. Your prasadam — vibhuti, kumkum and sacred offerings from your ritual — and your energised yantra, sealed in its silver amulet, ship free of charge to any country. There is no shipping fee at checkout, ever.

2When your parcel ships

Parcels are packed at the ashram after your ritual concludes, because what we send you must first pass through the fire and the sanctum. As a guide: dispatch reaches you in 1–2 weeks within India and 2–4 weeks internationally from the ritual's completion. Long rituals ship at their conclusion — a 48-day or multi-mandala yantra puja ships once the final day's worship is complete and you have confirmed your delivery address (we ask you to confirm it about two weeks before the end, by email and in your dashboard).

3Couriers & tracking

Shipments are booked through our courier partners via Shiprocket, choosing the best service for your destination — including India Post where it serves best. The moment your parcel is booked, its AWB number and live tracking appear in your dashboard and are emailed to you; delivery status updates automatically until it reaches your door. In a few countries end-to-end live tracking may be limited by the destination's postal network — your dashboard will show the last confirmed status.

4Customs & duties

International parcels clear customs in your country. Prasadam and yantras are devotional articles and usually pass without charge, but where your country levies customs duty or import tax, that charge is the recipient's responsibility — it is set by your government, not by us, and is not included in our pricing. We declare contents accurately and cannot mark parcels as anything other than what they are.

5If something goes wrong

We say this honestly, because it matters at the prices our rituals carry. What your parcel holds — the prasadam and yantra of a ritual already performed in your name — cannot be created again without performing the ritual again. For that reason, once a parcel is handed to the courier or postal service with your tracking details, AstroBhava is not responsible for loss, non-delivery, damage or theft in transit. We do not control the postal services of any country, and in some countries live tracking is not available — where that is so, we cannot offer real-time updates beyond the last confirmed status.

The one thing we can do, we will always do: if a parcel is returned to us undelivered — a wrong address, a missed delivery, a customs return — we will notify you and make the shipment again at no extra cost. Beyond the tracking details we share, we are not able to trace or pursue a parcel inside another country's postal system. Please make sure your address is exact and someone is available to receive the parcel; prasadam should not sit uncollected.

6Your address

Please keep your delivery address current in your dashboard — it takes a moment to edit and can be different from your billing address (many devotees send prasadam to family in India). For long-running pujas we ask you to confirm your address before dispatch; the parcel is not booked until you do, so it can never travel to an old address.
