Good questions name the temple and the month

• Name the temple, the month and who is travelling with you
• Tag the thread with the temple, or with a topic like Stays or Darshan
• Say what you already know, so replies start from there

First-hand notes help the next family most

• Say when you went; queues and timings change with the season
• For bookings and timings, point people to the temple's own desk or website, the only source that can confirm them

Elders and children change the plan

• Mention the steps, long walks or waits you had to plan around
• Say where you found a place to sit, rest or feed a child
• Tag the thread With elders or With children
• Share what you lived; leave medical questions to a doctor

Votes decide what rises to the top

• Vote up the answers you would act on
• Vote down what is wrong or off topic, not what you simply disagree with
• Hot lifts new threads that get early votes; Top shows the most-voted threads

No selling, touting or paid darshan offers

• No agents, tour packages or “VIP darshan” offers
• No referral links; add a link only when it answers the question
• Bookings and donations go to the temple's own desk, never through a thread

Every path to the temple is welcome

• Be kind; do not mock a faith, a custom or a community
• Report what breaks these rules; a thread that several pilgrims report is hidden automatically
