Comment Policy
Last Updated: July 22, 2026
Simhastha Kumbh Mela portal values open discussion among pilgrims, devotees, and visitors. These guidelines ensure a safe, helpful, and respectful community for everyone.
Our Philosophy
At Simhastha Kumbh Mela portal, we believe our visitors deserve a supportive space to discuss updates, share experiences, and help fellow pilgrims. Our comment sections are designed to help you:
- Discuss Shahi Snan dates, Parv schedules, and event timings
- Share travel tips, accommodation experiences, and route guidance
- Help fellow pilgrims with queries about ghats, Akhadas, and local arrangements
- Interact with the devotee community in a positive and respectful manner
The Golden Rule
Treat others with kindness and respect. Remember that everyone here is a devotee or visitor seeking guidance. Be helpful and considerate, even when you disagree.
Community Guidelines
1. Be Respectful
Do not post comments that are abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing. Personal attacks on other users, religious institutions, or Akhadas will not be tolerated. Constructive comments are welcome - insults are not.
2. Stay On Topic
Keep comments relevant to the Simhastha Kumbh Mela - including dates, ghats, Akhadas, travel, accommodations, and spiritual discussions. Off-topic promotions, spam links, or political discussions will be moderated.
3. No Spam or Misleading Links
Do not share promotional spam, unauthorized advertisements, or links to unverified booking agents or fake accommodation services. Any commercial exploitation of the community is strictly prohibited.
4. No Misinformation
Do not spread unverified news regarding route closures, ghat restrictions, or event cancellations. Misinformation during a mass gathering can cause serious harm. Please reference official sources when sharing updates.
