Our story

Software with a sense of place

ViharaOS was born in the lanes around the Mahabodhi Temple, where a missed Form-C deadline or a dropped connection can stop a hotel cold. We set out to build a system worthy of the guests who travel here.

“Pilgrim-town hospitality deserves technology that is calm, dependable and rooted in local reality — software that disappears so hosts can be fully present for their guests.”

— The ViharaOS team, Bodh Gaya

What we believe

The principles behind every decision

Built for the circuit

Every feature is shaped by the realities of Bodh Gaya, Sarnath, Kushinagar and the wider pilgrimage trail — not retrofitted from a generic cloud PMS.

Compliance is sacred

Form-C, Thana Diary, GST and the DPDP Act are first-class citizens, automated end to end so hoteliers can host with confidence.

Engineered to endure

A ~30 MB Rust + SQLite client that boots in seconds on legacy hardware and never stops working when the connection does.

Hospitality without borders

Multi-lingual tools welcome Thai, Japanese, Sinhalese, Korean and Chinese pilgrims in their own language.

Partners, not vendors

We sit beside hoteliers through onboarding, festivals and audits — your success is the only metric that matters.

Proudly hosted in India

All primary infrastructure lives in Indian data centres for true data sovereignty under the DPDP Act.
