haha tricky question to ask . i think it largely depends the neighborhood you live . in greater Boston area the base rate is $1000 once a pundit is called on . if the ceremony is a day long ( say marriage , bratamanda , ghar puja ) it can typically go upto $ 2000 . i ended up paying 1500 but that was in 2017 . A pundit from slum places like Brooklyn, queens-Jackson heights can be pretty reasonable, 500 bucks .

house puja is a long day work , have at least 1000 bucks for it , if you really like the way de does his stuff add 200 as tip but if you dont, take 500 out from that 1000. so to my little knowledge I would say btn 500-1500 .
