The organizer's reality

Still running Ganeshotsav like this?

  • Wargani collected door-to-door, tracked in a diary

    Whoever holds the notebook holds the only record — and diaries get lost.

  • Everyone asking “kitna jama hua?” separately

    The same question, answered ten times a day, on WhatsApp.

  • Decoration, pandal, prasad and visarjan costs scattered

    Split across five people's memory, added up only once a year.

  • The same argument every year about who paid

    Who didn't, and where the balance actually went.

  • New committee every year, old hisaab nowhere to be found

    Each Ganeshotsav starts from a blank sheet, again.

The UtsavMitra way

Every wargani entry, one shared hisaab.

One app your whole mandal can trust. Wargani tracked. Decoration and prasad expenses visible. Visarjan tasks assigned. Reminders automatic.

  • Set up in under a minute — invite via link, no OTPs
  • Free to use — for every society

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Can we track wargani collected door-to-door, not just in-app payments?

Yes — the organizer or any designated collector can record a contribution on someone's behalf, and that member gets a receipt on WhatsApp/SMS without needing to open the app.

Does it handle multi-day mandaps (1.5, 5, 7, 10, 11 days)?

Yes — set your mandal's immersion day and tasks and budget adjust to your specific Ganeshotsav length.

Is this only for registered mandals, or can housing societies use it too?

Both — the same template works whether you're a registered sarvajanik mandal or a housing society celebrating internally.

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.
