How we check what we publish

Facts on tirth.com say where they came from and when they were checked. Here is what those lines mean, and what a page does when a fact is missing.

Where our facts come from

  • Our listings

    Prices, dates and what a puja or yatra includes, as Tirth lists them. Prices show the unit and GST status the listing gives.

  • Pages about places

    Temples, towns and sacred places are read from pages we name: the place's own site, government and tourism pages, and Wikipedia and Wikidata.

  • The tirth.com panchang

    Every date shows its tithi from the tirth.com panchang, for the city the page names.

Before a fact goes live

  1. It is read from a page we name, and the page keeps that source.
  2. A second check compares it with the words on that page. A fact that does not match is held for a person to review, not shown.
  3. It shows the date it was checked, and facts that change, such as timings, are checked again.
  4. A missing fact stays missing. If no source gives a value, the page says so; we never fill a gap with a likely value.

What the labels mean

Checked on 13 Nov 2026
We read the fact on the source shown, on that date.
As per the temple’s website
The fact is as that source states it; we have not checked it anywhere else.
By tradition
What devotees traditionally hold, such as a legend: devotion, not a historical claim.
Not checked yet
No source has given this fact yet, so the page shows nothing rather than a guess.

Photos

Photos of places come from Wikimedia Commons and Openverse under free licences, each credited to its photographer. A person at Tirth approves each one before it shows. We never show AI-made photos.
