The problem
Planning a pilgrimage in India is still a paper-and-phone-call process. Devotees cobble together temple timings, priest contacts, transport and stay from a dozen unconnected sources. Travel agents mark it up. Temples miss out on a direct relationship with visitors.
What we shipped
Tirth is an end-to-end platform to discover spiritual destinations and book the full trip: temple bookings, guided rituals, transport, and stay, all in one flow.
- Searchable catalog of destinations with rich content, timings, and rituals
- Booking engine that stitches temple, transport, and stay into a single itinerary
- Priest and host network with verified listings
- Pilgrim account that tracks past bookings and rituals
The hard part
The data. No two temples publish their timings the same way, and the calendar is lunar. We built an authoring tool temple admins can actually use, plus a calendar engine that translates lunar festivals into booking availability.
Outcome
A first-of-its-kind booking experience for devotees that feels like a modern travel app but respects the cultural weight of what it's booking.
