How we make contentHow we make contentहम कंटेंट कैसे बनाते हैं

Every place, festival, project and guide on this site lists the sources it is based on, with the date each one was read. You can open any of them and check the fact yourself.

• Official sources first: temple and gurdwara trusts, the Archaeological Survey of India, the Uttar Pradesh government and Varanasi district administration, the Press Information Bureau, Indian Railways, the Airports Authority of India and the Reserve Bank of India.
• Established newspapers next, such as Amar Ujala, Dainik Jagran, Hindustan, The Hindu, The Times of India and The Indian Express, when no official source has published the information.
• Blogs, travel agencies and booking sites never count on their own. When we use a booking site for something it publishes directly, such as a flight schedule, the page says so and gives the date we read it.

A fact goes on the site only when a source we trust states it. When sources disagree, we say so or leave the figure out; we do not pick the most attractive number.

• Festival dates follow the lunar calendar. Each date comes from a published panchang or an official holiday list, and a festival without an announced date says so.
• Opening hours, fees and rules come from the body that sets them. Approximate times are marked "about" or "usually".
• Government projects carry a status (Completed, Under construction or Announced) and the date it was last checked. A status no official source confirms is marked unconfirmed.
• Anything we could not confirm is labelled "not officially confirmed" on the page, rather than presented as fact.

The content is reviewed every day, one part of the site at a time: places, festivals, projects, food or guides. Each review re-reads the official sources and the news for changes, such as new temple timings, a new flight route, a project that has opened, or a festival line-up that has been announced. Once a month the whole site is reviewed.

Festival pages always point to the next date, and the site rebuilds every Monday so that those dates move on by themselves. Guides show when they were first published and when they were last updated, and the list at the end of this page shows what was checked most recently.

Research, drafting and the daily reviews are assisted by AI tools. They do not change the rules above: every fact on a page must trace back to a source listed on that page, and the checks described here apply to every change.

The pages in Hindi and English are the originals. The other eleven Indian languages are machine-assisted translations that native speakers have not yet reviewed. If something reads wrongly in your language, please tell us.

If you find a mistake, an outdated timing or a missing source, write to us with the page address and, if you can, a link to the source. We check it against the source, correct the page, and change its "updated" date. Corrections are never hidden: the old figure is replaced by the checked one.

The site may show ads and promotional cards for third-party products, such as a travel credit card. They are kept apart from the guide text and never decide what we write. The privacy policy explains how they work.
