Frequently Asked Questions
Where does your live data come from, amidst all the festive magic?
Our pulse-pounding, real-time data is woven from a tapestry of festive sources! Dedicated volunteer scouts, buzzing with the energy of Durga Puja, report from pandals every 30-60 minutes, capturing the vibrant atmosphere. We partner with the spirited Kolkata Traffic Police and Metro authorities, receive heartfelt submissions from pandal committees, and meticulously verify user-generated reports. Every update sparkles with freshness, typically reflecting the current joyous scene within 15 minutes during peak celebration hours, so you're always in the heart of the action!
How accurate are the queue times, amidst the swirling crowds?
Our queue time estimates dance with the rhythm of the festival, reflecting current conditions reported by our scouts and the grand symphony of historical patterns. Accuracy is typically ±10 minutes for bustling medium crowds and ±20 minutes for truly enormous, celebratory gatherings. The Durga Puja magic can bring delightful surprises: spontaneous VIP visits, captivating special programs, a sudden monsoon shower, or a viral social media moment can send crowds surging! We recommend a quick peek at the app just before you step out to catch the most current, shimmering data.
Do I need to enable location to find my way through the dazzling streets?
Enabling location is like unlocking a special festive key! It’s optional, but it truly elevates your Puja journey. With location on, we can whisk you to nearby pandals, guide you with accurate walking directions through the glittering streets, estimate real-time travel times amidst the joyous throngs, and even send you magical proximity alerts (e.g., "Aarti starting in 15 min at a pandal just 200m away!"). Fear not, you can still embrace all core features—from crowd heatmaps to route planning and timing guides—without location access. And rest assured, your location stays a secret, never shared with third parties or used for advertising; we're here to enhance your celebration, not intrude!
More Questions Answered: Let the Festivities Begin!
What about my privacy as I dive into the Durga Puja magic?
Your privacy is as sacred as the Durga Puja celebrations! Your location data, a whisper of your journey through the vibrant pandals, remains solely on your device unless you joyously choose to share a route. We would never dream of selling your precious data – it’s simply not in the spirit of the festival! Instead, aggregated crowd analytics, completely anonymous and shimmering with the collective energy of devotees, are used to perfect the festival experience for everyone. Our WhatsApp updates are an invitation to more joy, opt-in only, and you can gracefully exit this festive conversation anytime by replying STOP. We dance in full compliance with Indian data protection regulations, maintaining transparent data handling practices, all detailed in our sparkling Privacy Policy. Your trust allows the celebration to truly shine!
Caught a detail that needs a little festive polish? How do I report incorrect information?
Be a guardian of the grand celebration! See an outdated hour amidst the dhak beats, a shimmering light misplaced, or an accessibility detail missing from the joyful crowd? Don't let anything dim the festive glow! Simply tap the "Report Issue" button on any pandal card, or use the feedback form in Settings, and become part of our festival magic. Share your location, the exact moment you noticed it, and the specifics (e.g., "The dazzling arati started at 7 PM, not 6 PM at Pandal X!").
