The organizer's reality

Still running your pandal like this?

  • Household chanda collected over weeks, tracked across registers

    Different books for different collectors, reconciled once a year.

  • Pandal, lighting, idol, bhog and cultural budgets from different pockets

    Nobody has the full picture until well after Dashami.

  • Committee members fielding “koto uthlo, koto khoros holo?”

    The same question, individually, all season long.

  • Final accounting settled long after Dashami

    By then, memories — and receipts — have already faded.

  • Corpus and one-off donations mixed together

    So nobody can say how much came from where.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Can we track both household chanda and separate corporate or donor contributions?

Yes — record contributions by member or as one-off external donations, each with its own receipt.

Does it support a multi-day cultural program budget alongside the puja budget?

Yes — set up separate budget categories for puja essentials and cultural programs, tracked side by side.

Our committee changes every year — does the data carry over?

Your society or committee's history stays in one place across years, so a new treasurer isn't starting from zero.

Is it free?

Yes — free to use. Pricing will stay transparent and society-friendly as we grow. No surprise charges.

Which festivals are supported?

30+ built-in templates including Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja, Navratri, Diwali, Holi, Onam, Pongal, Chhath, Baisakhi, Eid and more. You can also add your own custom event — housewarmings, weddings, society meets.

Can families or friend groups use it?

Absolutely. UtsavMitra is built for societies and committees, but the same tools work great for families, friend groups, offices, or any group planning a festival together.

Is it available on Android and iOS?

Yes — UtsavMitra is live now on both Google Play for Android and the App Store for iOS.

Where can I download UtsavMitra for iPhone?

UtsavMitra is available now on the App Store, alongside Google Play for Android.

Do all members need to install the app?

Only the organizer and members who want to contribute or track things. For everyone else, you can add them as external members — the organizer records their chanda on their behalf, and they'll get plain WhatsApp / SMS receipts without ever opening the app.

Is our society's data private?

Yes. Your society's data belongs to your society — only members you invite can see it. Data is encrypted in transit and stored securely on Indian-region servers.
