Fact Checking Policy

Our Approach

Fact checking at Dakshyani focuses on verifiable claims: dates of festivals, temple locations, scriptural references, historical events, and quotations. Interpretive or devotional statements are labeled as such.

Source Hierarchy

1. Primary texts and authoritative translations
2. Peer-reviewed scholarship and museum or ASI publications
3. Established reference works and recognized religious institutions
4. Reputable journalism and field reporting for contemporary topics

Review Process

Articles undergo editorial review before publication. Complex pieces may receive additional review by subject-matter readers. We update articles when new scholarship or corrected festival dates warrant changes.

Reader Reports

We encourage readers to flag inaccuracies with citations when possible. Verified corrections are integrated and acknowledged.
