A digital lagna patrika
Lagna patrika is the Marathi name for the wedding invitation: the card that carries the muhurta, both families' names and every ceremony from the haldi to the reception.
A digital lagna patrika is the same invitation sent as a link. It reaches the aunt in Kolhapur and the cousins in New Jersey on the same evening, and opens on any phone — no app, nothing to download.
Many families still print a few cards for the elders and send the rest by link. That works well.
How Paithani opens
A pop-up book bound in Paithani silk: every ceremony stands up off the page as guests scroll.
- 01
A book in Paithani silk
It arrives closed, with your guest's family on its label. One tap and the cover swings open: a paper gateway stands up, two peacocks, and your names on a swinging paper tag.
- 02
The date in a silk pocket
Guests pull a card up out of a silk pocket to find the day.
- 03
Every ceremony stands up
Haldi, mehendi, sangeet, the wedding and the reception — each a spread of painted paper that rises as guests scroll, with its time, its place and what to wear. A puff of turmeric at the haldi; shake the ghungroo at the sangeet and the lanterns swing.
- 04
The antarpaat and the akshata
At the wedding the silk antarpaat sinks away as guests scroll, and the first akshata is thrown; guests throw more with a tap. Your muhurta sits right there with the day's programme.
- 05
Your ukhane
His ukhana and hers unroll as two paper scrolls at the reception — in Marathi, in your own words.
- 06
Shubh Vivah
Your photos stand up in paper corners, a paper wheel turns to the days left, and blessings arrive as folded paper notes. At the end the book closes: शुभ विवाह.

Questions families ask
Can the invitation be in Marathi?
The invitation is written in English, so every guest can read it, family abroad included. Your ukhane are yours to write in Marathi, and the book closes on शुभ विवाह.
Can we show the muhurta?
Yes. Give the wedding its time and a note — "The muhurta is at 11:34 am; please be seated by 11:00" — and list the day's programme in order, from the antarpaat to lunch.
Can we add the Sakharpuda or Seemant Pujan?
Yes. Choose from Engagement, Haldi, Mehendi, Sangeet, Wedding and Reception, or add your own ceremony and call it what your family calls it — Sakharpuda, Seemant Pujan, Grihapravesh.
How do we send it to everyone?
Add each family once, with a WhatsApp number, and send each its own link from your guest list. The invitation greets them by name, and you can see who has opened it.
What does it cost?
Making it is free, and you can change it as often as you like. When you are ready to send it, it is ₹1,999 once — every ceremony, every family.
