EDITORIAL APPROACH

How this guide is written

Stories are original, concise retellings with chapter links to the Bhagavata Purana. The linked Vedabase edition includes a Gaudiya Vaishnava / ISKCON commentary; other traditions may read a passage differently. Historical claims about temples are attributed to temple boards or government tourism sources. Visitor schedules and entry requirements should always be reconfirmed on those sources before travel.

English is the fully edited reading language of this edition. Hindi labels and search aliases are available as the bilingual structure develops; longer Hindi articles still need review by an editor.

The observance planner stores reminders in the visitor's browser only. The muhurat preparation form builds a local checklist and optional calendar reminder without transmitting personal details. Neither tool calculates tithi, fasting windows or auspicious times. Links to Drik Panchang direct readers to an independent location-aware source; no Drik images, data tables or branded interface are reproduced here.
