Non-profit · Software for temples and religious trusts

Hold seva bookings, donations, numbered receipts and priest schedules together.

A temple runs on seva receipts torn off at a counter, donation registers and a hundi counted in front of trustees, and a festival overloads all three. The temple management software holds seva bookings, donations, numbered receipts and priest schedules together, and devotees who have moved away can request a seva online instead of calling the office.

At a glance

A devotee wants an archana on her birthday star. A family books a Sunday pooja. Someone abroad gives towards annadanam. Each of those lands in a different register in a different room.

The temple management software is built for this counter, then adapted to your sevas, timings and the way the trust keeps its accounts. We would start with an ordinary week at the counter, because festival days only show what was already breaking.

How the work runs today

At the counter a clerk writes the seva, the name, the gothra and the nakshatra, takes cash, card or a QR code payment, and tears off a receipt. Tomorrow’s pooja list reaches the priests on paper, and phone bookings are added in pen at the bottom.

Donations come in for annadanam, the gopura fund or an utsavam, some with a tax number for the tax receipt. The hundi is counted in front of trustees and written into a register before the bank deposit.

At month end the treasurer matches receipt books and the donation register against the bank statement. Navaratri brings weeks of extra counter work for the same few clerks.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for temples and religious trusts without a proper system.

Two families are given one homa slot

One booking came by phone and one at the counter, and the priest finds out when both arrive with their sankalpa details. Apologies follow at the gate.

The donor wants last year’s receipt

The receipt book is in a trustee’s cupboard, and the devotee needs the copy for his tax filing. The search takes days.

Festival cash never matches

Four counters keep four books, and the treasurer spends three days matching totals against one bank deposit slip.

Devotees far away cannot book

Families who moved to another city ring the temple office, and the booking depends on who picks up the phone.

What the software does

What we would build for temples and religious trusts.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Seva and pooja booking

Set each seva with its amount, days, time slots and limit per slot, asking for gothra, nakshatra or sankalpa where needed.

Online seva request

Let devotees choose the seva, date and slot on your website, with the request reaching the office as pending to confirm.

Donations by fund

File each donation under a fund such as annadanam, hundi or a festival, with payment mode, reference and tax number when given.

Numbered receipts

Print receipts or send them as a PDF with your trust’s tax-exemption registration details where it has them, and cancel a wrong receipt with a reason.

Priest schedule

Record each priest’s available days and hours, with bookings assigned so the day’s poojas are shared out before the gate opens.

Festivals and utsavam days

List each festival with its days and the sevas taken for it, so the counters know what is open and the priests know who is on duty.

Devotee register and reports

Find devotees by phone number with family details and star, and produce daily collection reports by payment mode for the treasurer.

Solutions inside

The business modules temples and religious trusts use most.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

AI by department

Where AI can help temples and religious trusts.

Each one reads records you already keep, and a person approves every decision.

Festival crowd and seva planning

Festivals bring crowds. The assistant reads earlier festival days, seva bookings and counter entries, then suggests how many priests, volunteers and food portions each day is likely to need. The temple manager reviews the estimate, edits it freely and decides what goes to the priests and the kitchen.

Donation trends by fund

Funds rise and fall. The assistant reads donations filed under each fund, with dates and payment modes, and shows which funds usually run ahead or behind in each season. Trustees can then time appeals and plan projects early. The treasurer reviews every suggestion before the board decides.

Receipt and collection checks

Counters slip quietly. The assistant compares each counter’s daily collection with receipt numbers and the bank deposit, then points out gaps, repeated numbers and cancelled receipts that lack a reason. The treasurer begins from a short list and decides what to chase.

Priest and slot clashes

Two families, one slot. The assistant reads seva limits, priest availability and pending online requests, then warns when a booking would overfill a slot or double book a priest. It offers nearby free slots to suggest to the family. The office decides which to confirm.

Common questions

Questions temples and religious trusts ask before they call.

How does our auditor get the figures he needs?

Day-wise collection by payment mode, and donations by fund, come out as CSV for him. The trust’s books stay where they are, and he works as before.

Does it print tax-exemption details on donation receipts?

It prints your trust’s tax-exemption registration number and the donor’s tax number on donation receipts. Whether a receipt qualifies depends on your trust’s registration, which stays between you and your auditor.

Can a devotee abroad ask for a seva in his own name?

Yes. He picks the seva, the date and the gothra on your website, and the request reaches the office as pending. Once the office confirms it, the money is collected at the counter. Posting the prasadam back to him stays the temple’s own arrangement.

Can elderly counter staff use it?

Yes. The counter screen asks for the seva, date, name and payment. Screens are in English, with sevas listed under the names your office already uses.

How is a temple trust system quoted?

Counters, clerks, priests and the festivals to be handled set the scope. Online seva requests and fund-wise donation accounts are separate parts. Bringing over old receipt books adds more. Your seva list is keyed in for a trial, and a priced quotation follows.

What should the trust have ready?

The seva list with rates, receipt books, the donation register, the priest schedule and last festival’s plan. A trustee and the counter clerk should join the trial sessions. They know the rush days.

Whose is the donation history if the trust changes tools?

The trust’s own, with the source code. Receipts, donations and bookings can be returned as ordinary sheets. The same developers answer for faults. A trust server is acceptable for hosting.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
