Getting Started

How a temple joins Temple Hub and how a devotee signs in: onboarding in a single business day, a 30-day free trial, OTP sign-in, and admin training.

What is Temple Hub?

Temple Hub is a complete temple management platform built for Hindu temples. It gives every temple a dedicated admin portal with tiles for Puja Services, Temple Calendar, Manage Deities, Bookings, Facility Services, Devotee management, Priest Scheduling, Donations & Campaigns, a Canteen & Store module, Newsletters, and more — all accessible from any browser or the Temple Hub mobile app on iOS and Android.

I'm a new devotee — what's the step-by-step workflow to get started?

It takes about a minute, and you don't need to sign in just to find your temple. First, open the Temple Hub app (or the Select Organization page) and search for your temple by name or short code — temples with an active Temple Hub subscription appear in the results, and no email or OTP is required at this step. Next, select your temple: your temple page opens right away, and Temple Hub remembers your choice, so every time you reopen the app your temple page loads by default. Then, on your temple page, sign in with your email or mobile number and the one-time passcode (OTP) you receive. Finally, once verified, new devotees complete a quick profile, and you can book pujas and services, manage your household, and add details such as your spouse and company or business information.

Does the admin portal have a light mode?

Yes. The admin portal ships with two themes: the default dark front-desk look and a light "Morning Parchment" theme, plus a System option that follows your device's appearance automatically. Switch anytime from the theme control in the top-right of every admin page's header (sun = Light, monitor = System, moon = Dark), right next to the Home button. The choice is remembered per device and applies to every admin page, including the Bookings POS, Finance Dashboard, and Calendar. Printed receipts, thermal labels, and PDF reports always keep their fixed paper colors regardless of the on-screen theme.

Is there training and certification for temple administrators?

Yes. Inside the Training Guide & FAQ tile, admins can take an interactive, voice-guided course that walks through every tile step by step with narration, captions, and animated highlights — you can pause, change speed, and resume exactly where you left off. After the course, a certification exam (flashcards plus multiple-choice questions covering every area of Temple Hub) awards the "Certified Temple Hub Administrator" badge and a downloadable, emailable certificate to anyone who scores 90% or higher. The exam can be retaken anytime, and the course automatically covers new features as they're added.

How do I get my temple started on Temple Hub?

Contact our team through the Request Demo page. We will set up your temple's account, assign your unique temple code, and guide you through the onboarding process. Most temples are live within a single business day.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan includes a 30-day free trial — no credit card required. You get full access to all tiles and features in your selected plan during the trial period. After 30 days, you can subscribe or speak with our team about an extended pilot.

Do devotees need to create an account or download an app?

No — there is no separate sign-up form to fill out in advance, and no app is required. A devotee simply enters their email or mobile number, verifies it with a one-time passcode (OTP), and — if they're new to the temple — a short form guides them to finish creating their account (name, phone, household, and optional gotra/nakshatra). They're set up as a devotee and signed in right away; returning devotees skip the form and go straight to their portal. For the best experience, install the Temple Hub app from Google Play (Android) or the App Store (iPhone and iPad) and enter your temple code once — after that it opens to your temple automatically, with push notifications. Prefer not to install? Everything also works from any web browser. Either way, devotees can book pujas, view the temple calendar, reserve facilities, and download newsletters.
