About ShokSabha

ShokSabha exists for one reason: in the days after a death, a family should not have to fight a website. Most card makers ask for a login, bury the download behind ads, or put a watermark across the name of someone who has just died. We wanted something that opens, lets you type, and gets out of the way.

How it works

The card is drawn inside your browser using the same engine for the preview and the download. That means your photo and the person's name are not sent to our servers. The only thing that leaves your device is the payment, which goes to Razorpay.

Why there is a small charge

Designing and previewing is free. The watermark-free HD image and PDF are a one-time purchase, with an optional animated video with music. It pays for fonts, hosting and the time spent writing the guides on this site. There is no subscription, and one payment covers 24 hours of edits and re-downloads, because people always spot a spelling mistake after downloading.

Why the guides

Cards are the easy part. The harder questions are what date to give, what to write, and what is considered proper in a particular community. The guides, the message library and the ritual date calculator are there to answer those. They are written as general information and always say when your priest, imam, granthi or parish should have the last word.

Languages

The ten languages on the cards have their own titles, labels and ready messages, written in a formal, respectful register. If you find a phrase that does not match how your family says it, tell us and we will correct it.
