A good festival budget answers two questions before the drive even starts: how much do we need to collect, and where will it go? Here’s a simple structure you can copy into any spreadsheet — or skip entirely, because Omkosh builds it for you.
Income
List your expected contributions and any sponsorships separately.
- Regular contributions = units × minimum contribution
- Sponsorships (idol, mahaprasad, decoration, sound)
- Previous balance carried forward
Expenses by category
Group spending so it’s easy to review and compare year on year.
- Vendors — mandap, idol, lighting, sound
- Pooja & samagri
- Food & prasad
- Other — permits, generator, photography, printing
Why a live ledger beats a spreadsheet
A spreadsheet is a snapshot; a festival is a moving target. With Omkosh every collection and expense updates the budget in real time, receipts go out automatically, and the final report is generated for you — no formulas to maintain, no version confusion at the AGM.
