The organizer's reality

Still running Navratri like this?

  • Fund collected per family for 9 nights, tracked in a notebook

    One person's handwriting is the only record anyone trusts.

  • DJ, stage, lighting, decoration and prize budgets scattered

    Spread across vendor WhatsApp threads no one else can see.

  • Volunteers unsure who's on gate duty, who's on sound

    The rota lives in someone's head until it doesn't.

  • Kanya pujan and closing-night costs settled after the fact

    By the time anyone adds it up, night nine is long over.

  • No shared record after night nine

    Next year's committee starts from zero, again.

The UtsavMitra way

Nine nights, tracked from gate to garba to closing.

One app your whole committee can trust. Garba funds tracked. DJ and stage expenses visible. Night-by-night 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 set up a different budget for each of the 9 nights?

Yes — track spend by category across the full festival, or break it down night by night, whichever your committee prefers.

What about garba ground rental and vendor advances paid before collection starts?

Log expenses before or after chanda collection begins — the budget view always shows committed spend against what's been collected so far.

Can non-app-using families still contribute?

Yes — record their contribution as an external member and they'll get a plain WhatsApp/SMS receipt.

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.
