Pandit for Katha and Puja in Ajmer
Ajmer sits beside Pushkar, and a good number of enquiries from here are really about a rite at the Pushkar sarovar — tarpan, shraddh or a sankalp taken at the tirtha — with the family staying in Ajmer.
Where that is the case it is worth saying so at the outset, because the tithi is then chosen for the tirtha rather than for the house, and the two are chosen quite differently. A rite at home can move a day either way to suit the family; a tirtha rite generally cannot.
Say which of the two it is when you first write. The samagri that is easier to obtain locally is left to be gathered in Ajmer rather than carried, and the list is sent early enough for that.
