Best Indian Religious Services in Chattanooga, TN

We had an opportunity to work with Paragbhai for our daughter’s wedding! We had an excellent experience with him. He was very accommodating to our needs and wishes and performed the Pooja and Ceremony within the time we had requested, without compromising any aspect of the rituals. And was on time for every event. His knowledge of our Hindu rituals and command over Sanskrit was more than adequate. He also had a great rapport with our children’s generation and was able to explain things in English where necessary. Another aspect we appreciated was that he did not go into any unnecessary details in his explanations. His demeanor was very friendly and easy going and his presence felt very reassuring! He was also available for meetings beforehand to make sure that everything went seamlessly on the days of the events. We will be definitely using his services for future events and highly recommend him!

I have worked with this priest and he is really nice ! Thanks

Best decision ever! Our most important vendor for our wedding was the officiant because we needed someone that could beautifully illustrate our interfaith love story. Dr. Mike Ghouse did just that! He brought together our Islamic and Christian faiths in a way our wedding guests were completely blown away by. Both faiths were represented in his sermon and prayers beautifully. Dr. Mike Ghouse was extremely professional in everything he did and was attentive from start to finish. Above all, he was a joy to work and extremely pleasant and positive. We HIGHLY recommend him for any couple searching for an interfaith officiant. He will make your special day memorable for years to come.

It was an absolute pleasure to have Panditji Parag Davé as our Hindu priest our my wedding. He met with the both of us and the groom's mother and took a considerable amount of time to explain all of the steps for the wedding, both in English and Gujarati. He made himself available for a Grah Shanti a few days before the wedding with a very short notice and also made sure that the wedding day went very smoothly. We would highly recommend him! - Pratik and Susan

Thank you so much for arranging and managing everything :). We had a great experience with your team and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

We really enjoyed the entire experience of videopuja conducted by your Gujarathi Panditji and will recommend to our friends.

Very well done pooja. We were completely satisfied.

Ramaswamy garu organized our Diwali puja exceptionally well; The priest performed the service via zoom and was well versed in the rituals. We appreciated his patience as he walked us through the Puja. Friends and family members were able to zoom in and watch the puja too. We were impressed with their professionalism, knowledge and dedication and we hope to be able to avail of their services soon

Hi, Everything was done really great. We absolutely loved this experience. Vidhate Ji made it really easy for us even though it was a virtual pooja. And it made us feel like it was an in person pooja. Also, we really enjoyed it as our family and friends were able to join as well. Even though it was our first time doing this pooja's, Vidhate Ji made it really easy for us and was very patient with us.

This is our second virtual puja with Priest4u; we are repeat customers and would highly recommend this service. Pandit Vidhateji conducted our Puja, he was very thorough and explained every aspect of the ceremony. Instructions on how to prepare for the actual puja were shared in advance and the team is always available to answer questions. Our friends and family were able to join via Zoom as well. All in all - 5 stars!

Hi Paragbhai, We couldn't be more happier to have had you as our priest in the wedding ceremony. You presented all the Sanskrit verses very clearly (in English where necessary) to all the guests, and they all enjoyed the ceremony. Also, you took the time to understand the meaning of each ritual and took it step by step with patience, for which we will be forever grateful. In all, the ceremony narration was simple, clear, fun, and energetic. We will definitely keep you in mind for future pujas at our place, and also heavily recommend them to others.

Pundit ji was amazing! He accommodating to our multiple schedule changes. He worked very well with us ahead of time to explain the wedding ceremony to my non-Indian husband. He was very mindful of traditions and was flexible with us. He really cares for you and does a great job. I highly recommend

We have known Parag Ji for many years now, he has performed many Pujas for us and our friends inperson and most recently he performed an online Sri Lakshmi Narayan and Navagrah a pooja. He is extremely knowledgeable in the procedures and rituals of the pooja. He properly explained the steps of the pooja and the meaning behind the rituals. He is very patient and kind person. We had a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Parag ji for Hindu pooja services. Thank you

We participated in a Lakshmi Narayan ?? Puja Organized by Paragbhai. He did a great job in ensuring everyone had a heads up on the Pooja items needed by sending a detailed list well in advance. Also, during the Pooja, he explained the rationale behind performing each and every step. The best part that I liked was when he quoted references from our Shastras like Purans, etc and sharing stories of wisdom in the Shastras along the way. Another icing on the cake was when he tried to tie the rituals to the practical aspects of day to day life and how we can benefit from the same by applying them in our lives. Last but not the least he was kind of enough in investing time to answer questions and clarify doubts. I will highly recommend him if you are looking for someone who can help understand the essence of the rituals and benefits from practical application in our lives. Jai Shree krishna ??

we were lucky to have him officiate our daughter’s wedding with Gujarati traditions. He is incredibly knowledgeable about numerous traditions and cultures and kept our barati/guest engaged the entire time. We had many guests tell us that they really enjoyed entire ceremony because of his ease of explaining the Hindu steps and his elaborate/detailed explanation. He is very jovial was easy to work during our actual ceremony and made us and the audience laugh numerous times. On a personal note, he was also extremely flexible with incorporating specific wedding rituals and appeased both our families. He was very easy, honest, reasonable to work with. If you are looking for a priest who is up to date with modern times and still understands traditions look no further. We are extremely lucky to have found Paragbhai Dave and he made our daughter’s wedding ceremony so enjoyable and event to remember forever…THANK YOU PARAGBHAI!

Paragbhai is very puntual in all of our cultural ceremonies considering time, place and environment. Paragbhai has an excellent vedic knowledge and it's signifance to practical value in modern world. Also he has an excellent communication in translating from Sanskrit to English or Hindi or Gujarati.

Parag ji does wonderful work. He always explains the meaning of the Pooja steps in different languages so kids love doing Pooja as well. I know him for 9 years and appreciate the services that he offers to community’. Best wishes.

I have done last sunday online puja of laxminarayan & navgrah . it was wonderful experience of mine. thanks parag

Times do change, Circumstances do change but our core values, principles and faith does not. Paragji recently facilitated and conducted on-line Puja as we are based in Middle-East and our two sons are in USA. Such a purifying and enlightening experience at our own home - far away and yet so close.

First I was reluctant to book an Online Puja. After communicating several times with Priest Dave ji, I felt comfortable. Priest Dave ji did an excellent Virtual Grih Pravesh Puja. Not only us, but our other friends that were watching our Grih Pravesh Puja online were astonished by his Virtual Puja service. Till Puja is over, we didn't realize that he is physically not with us. Thanks for your service. Looking forward to you see more often in our circle for Pujas.

One of the best priests we have ever come across! Thank you for meeting with us so many times and for all of your help so that we could understand the meaning of the prayers and make each Puja as accurate and traditional as possible. Very accommodating, and always SO pleasant and a pleasure to have around. We feel so grateful to have met Paragbhai! He will forever have a special place in our hearts as being the priest who married us.

He is a very good priest. He will understand the need of the client . Very affordable and humble

My husband and I were beyond lucky to have him officiate our Hindu wedding which was a mix of Punjabi and Gujarati traditions.He is incredibly knowledgeable about numerous traditions and cultures and kept our audience engaged the entire time. We had multiple guests tell us that they actually paid attention to the entire ceremony because of his ease of explaining the Hindu steps and his kind words. He was easy to joke around with during our actual ceremony and made us and the audience laugh numerous times. On a personal note, he was also extremely flexible with incorporating specific wedding rituals and appeased both our families. We had him do quite a few ceremonies for us and he was always on time! He was very easy to work with from day one. I had forgotten my marriage certificate and he drove to my house to sign it for us within a day or two of our ceremony. If you are looking for a priest who is up to date with modern times and still understands traditions look no further. We are so lucky to have found Paragbhai Dave and he has made our ceremony so enjoyable. We will forever remember his witty banter and kind heart.

Parag made my dream wedding come true! I am so lucky to have the youngest Hindu priest by my side. He has great attention to detail. He would tell both my family and my wife’s family all the details that go into a Hindu wedding, which is so helpful for me since I am Indian-American. He is also great at answering his phone. Every question I had, he would answer every time I called him. I thank him from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding the best thing that has ever happened to me.

Parag officiated and performed our wedding in Michigan, and did an amazing job. My wife and her family are American and I am Indian, so finding someone who could explain the different rituals clearly and in good English was important to us. Luckily we found Parag, who was able to discuss everything with us in detail over the phone since we were planning from afar. He was flexible and good at creating a ceremony that adhered to tradition but also reflected our own values and wishes. I would highly recommend him, especially for an inter-cultural wedding like ours!

Our priest Parag was amazing, both our family and friends were very impressed. My marriage was intercultural, my husband is white and I am indian. It was just wonderful how priest Parag met with us before the wedding, did our pre-wedding ceremony and the wedding. All along he explained each step so eloquently. What we most appreciated was how knowledgeable and sincere he was throughout wedding process. He made the wedding ceremony so special and memorable for us. I would highly recommend priest Parag to family and friends.

Thank you Paragbhai! We are happy that you had performed the marriage of our son! We always tell others that you were very good to work with and will give your reference to others and will keep you in mind in the future as well.

“Paragbhai was great to work with for our recent Vidhi and Wedding. Since it was multi-cultural (I'm not Indian by my husband is), it was very important for me to have a Priest who could explain not only to me and my family but also to our guests what was going on through various parts of the ceremony which he did very well. He really understood and tailored our ceremonies to reflect that this was not a traditional Hindu ceremony and he was very patient with all the questions. He met with my in-laws first and then again with my family to explain every step. We couldn't have asked for a more modern, understanding and flexible Priest to work with. We will be using him for our future needs as well.”
