The Problem It Solves

Due to urbanization, inter-regional marriages, migration, and globalization, many Indians—especially the younger generation—face:

• A disconnect from traditional rituals and customs
• Inability to perform culturally accurate rituals due to lack of guidance
• Over-reliance on generic online content, often not community-specific
• Difficulty sourcing correct requirements and understanding festival timings

---

Target Users

• Urban Professionals: e.g., a UP Kayastha engineer in Bangalore celebrating Diwali correctly.
• Indian Diaspora: e.g., a Telugu family in New Jersey performing Ugadi authentically.
• Students: e.g., a Punjabi student in Mumbai learning Lohri customs.
• Temples & Cultural Organizations: to maintain ritual consistency and engagement.
• Local Vendors: to digitize and sell pooja items (samagri) directly through the app.

Key Features

• Dynamic Gemini Prompt: Generates context-aware prompts based on the user’s religious background
• Beautiful UI: Modern and responsive design with loading states and error handling
• Image Caching: Uses cached_network_image for efficient image loading
• Mock Data: Includes fallback mock data for development and testing
