Shri Omkareshwar Jyotirlinga, Khandwa
Narmada Tat Annadaan
A meal served on the ghat, in your name, every Sunday
About this seva
Annadaan is the offering that is eaten. On Sunday afternoons a meal is cooked and served on the ghat below the temple to pilgrims, sadhus and anyone who comes — the count is what varies, not the intent. Your sankalp is read out before the serving begins, and the photographs come back with the recording.

Why it is offered
- The daan said to outlast the giver
- Annadaan is described in the texts as the offering whose merit does not run out.
- In memory of someone
- The customary offering on a death anniversary, made in the name of the person remembered.
- Something that visibly happens
- You see who ate, and how many. Photographs come back with the recording.
How it works
- You give the sankalp — Names and gotra of everyone the seva is offered for, and the prayer in your own words. This is what the acharya reads out — nothing else about you is sent.
- The temple receives the list — Sankalps close a few hours before the ritual so the list can be prepared. Book after that and you join the next occurrence, which the app shows you first.
- The seva is performed — At the temple, at its own muhurat, by the acharyas who perform it every week — whether or not anyone has booked.
- The video and photos reach you — Usually within two days, on your booking in the app, and we email you when they arrive. The prasad follows by courier, with a note of what was offered and when.
Who performs it
Omkareshwar temple acharyas
Vedic ritual team, Shri Omkareshwar Mandir
The rituals are performed by the temple's own acharyas, in the Shaiva tradition the shrine has followed for generations. Punyaloka arranges the sankalp and the recording; it does not send a priest of its own.
Questions
Do I need to be present at the temple?
No. A seva performed on your behalf is an old and ordinary practice — the sankalp carries your name and intention to the ritual whether you stand there or not.
What if I do not know my gotra?
Leave it blank. The acharya recites the default lineage, which is the accepted practice for anyone who does not know theirs. It changes nothing about the seva.
Can I offer this for someone else?
Yes, and most people do. Add their name and gotra in the sankalp; they do not need an account, and they do not need to know unless you want them to.
What happens if the seva cannot be performed?
It is refunded in full, without you having to ask. A ritual the temple could not hold is not something we keep money for.
Give your sankalp — names, gotra and prayer — and the seva is performed in your name on 1 November 2026.
