Bakhshish Dham is a Sikh charitable organisation and gurdwara in Village Nussi, Jalandhar, dedicated to the upliftment of needy communities across rural Punjab — free medical and handicap camps, hospital and educational projects, and the weekly spiritual life of satsang, simran, and Nagar Kirtan. We have been their technology partner since 2014, and the work is offered pro bono.
A platform that grew with the mission
What began as a website has become the organisation’s digital home. Devotees and supporters can read parwachan archives, follow the event calendar, and register for the annual Gurmat Samagam. The mission’s reach is no longer bound by who can travel to Nussi — the congregation extends to anyone with a connection.
Live satsang sits at the heart of it. We built broadcast streaming so weekly gatherings and monthly naam simran reach a global sangat in real time, with the discourses archived for those in other time zones. A dedicated mobile app puts that live stream in the hands of devotees who follow on the move.
Maintained, not just built
The most important part of this project is the part that does not show up in a launch announcement: longevity. The site has been carried through more than a decade of platform changes, security updates, and a full design refresh as the organisation’s needs evolved — all while the live streaming and registration kept running uninterrupted. A charity should be able to focus on seva, not on whether its website still works.
Why it matters
Technology in service of a charitable mission is some of the most rewarding work we do. Bakhshish Dham shows what a long-term partnership looks like: not a one-off build handed over and forgotten, but a relationship maintained year after year so the people doing the giving can keep giving.
