How festival listings will stay responsible

Important cultural events such as Laksha Deepam can be documented respectfully while avoiding unverified numbers and dates.

A festival is not only a religious activity; it is also a community experience of returning home, street memories, food, music, service and safety.

Dates, schedules and attendance numbers should be published only after local organisers or authorities confirm them.
