The Problem
Paper registers and Excel sheets are costing your temple donor trust and compliance.
India has 2+ million registered temples. Most of them track thousands of donations per year in paper registers — with no way to surface upcoming Shashwat obligations, track audit trails, or send timely reminders to donors.
500 Shashwat Abhishek donors — no idea whose Tithi is next month
Calendar engine auto-surfaces upcoming obligations by Tithi and Paksha
Accountant uses Excel; cheques are untracked; auditor finds discrepancies
Every rupee tracked — cash, cheque, online — with full audit trail
Donors complain we never send reminders; they go elsewhere
Dashboard shows due reminders; WhatsApp and email follow-up built in
3 volunteers manage donations — no one knows who recorded what
Every action attributed to the user who created it, with timestamp
No way to accept UPI donations alongside cash and cheques
Razorpay integration unifies online and offline into one ledger
Donor receipts lost; no printable record for donors or auditors
Auto-numbered PDF receipts generated for every donation

Shashwat Calendar Engine
Never miss a donor's Abhishek Tithi again.
Shashwat is the only software that understands the Hindu lunar calendar. When a donor makes a perpetual Abhishek commitment, you record it against the specific Tithi, Paksha, and Month. The system surfaces upcoming obligations automatically — so your team is always prepared before the sacred date arrives.

Common Questions
Straight answers.
Do our temple staff need technical knowledge?
No. Shashwat is designed for temple office staff, not IT teams. The interface is clean, simple, and requires no training beyond a 30-minute onboarding session.
Can we migrate our existing paper records?
Yes. Our team can assist with bulk data import. For digital records, we support CSV import for donors and transactions.
Is our donation data secure?
Each organisation's data is completely isolated on our platform. No data is shared between organisations. We use industry-standard encryption for all data at rest and in transit.
Can we use this for non-Abhishek donations too?
Yes. Shashwat handles all donation types — Varshik, Masik, Shashwat Abhishek, Utsav, and General offerings. The platform is flexible enough for any recurring or one-time donation workflow.
Does it work for Indian diaspora temples outside India?
Yes. The platform works in any browser. Diaspora temples in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and UAE are part of our target market. Currency and language options are configurable.
