Content Policy

This policy explains where the content in Anant Bhakti comes from, which parts of it are produced by automated systems, what we expect from community discussion, and how to report something that should not be there.

Where our content comes from

Devotional audio, video, scripture, narration and wallpapers are catalogued, licensed and published by our content team. Many devotional texts, mantras and traditional compositions belong to shared religious heritage and are not owned by anyone; where we hold rights, they are in our particular recordings, translations, narrations, artwork and presentation rather than in the underlying tradition.

We aim to present devotional material with accuracy and respect, and to represent traditions as they are practised rather than as we might summarise them.

Automatically generated content

Devotional news

The news feed is written by an automated content pipeline from public news sources and is regenerated roughly every two hours. Every article carries a visible origin badge inside the app stating that it was generated this way. Automatically generated text can contain errors or omit context, and it is not reviewed line by line before publication.

Daily Rashifal text

The wording of the daily Rashifal is drafted automatically, once per zodiac sign, per day, per language, and reconciled against traditional Panchang calculations. It is not generated from your personal chart, your name or anything else about you — everyone with the same sign reads the same text on a given day.

AI Jyotishi replies

Replies in an AI Jyotishi chat are written by a language model, in answer to your question and grounded in the chart our servers calculate. The persona is labelled as an AI in the app. Replies can be wrong, and are for spiritual and cultural interest only. You can report a reply from inside the chat.

No personal data is sent to the language model provider for the news feed or the Rashifal. The AI Jyotishi sends what it needs to answer you, only after you agree to it — thePrivacy Policy lists exactly what. Everything else in the app — scripture, audio, video, wallpapers, calendar entries and help articles — is editorial.

Astrology and Panchang

Remedies such as gemstones and Rudraksha are presented as part of traditional practice. We make no claim that they produce any particular outcome, and we do not sell them.

Festival and vrat dates

Festival dates, vrat timings and Panchang data are computed from traditional astronomical methods. Observance legitimately differs between regions, sampradayas and families, and local panchang authorities may publish a different date for the same occasion. Where our calendar differs from the tradition you follow, follow your own tradition — our calendar is a reference, not a ruling.

Community guidelines

Charcha is a shared, public discussion space. It is for devotional conversation, and we ask everyone to keep it that way. Do not post content that:

• insults, mocks or denigrates any religion, deity, community, caste, region or belief;
• is hateful, threatening, harassing, obscene or sexually explicit;
• is defamatory, or invades someone's privacy;
• promotes violence, self-harm or any illegal activity;
• impersonates another person or misrepresents its origin;
• is spam, advertising, a solicitation or a scam;
• infringes someone else's copyright or other rights;
• is knowingly false or misleading information about matters of public importance.

This applies to every faith and tradition, not only the ones the app covers. We may remove content that breaches these guidelines and may warn, suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly do so, as set out in our Terms & Conditions.

Reporting content

In Charcha, the quickest way is inside the app: press and hold the message, choose Report message, and pick a reason. The message is hidden for you straight away, the report reaches our moderators, and the person who posted it is never told who reported it. From the same menu you can block the sender: you will no longer see their messages or be notified about them, and you can undo it from Settings › Blocked devotees.

For anything else in the app — an article, a story, or content outside Charcha — report it to us using the contact details below. Please include where you saw it, a description or screenshot, and why you believe it breaches the policy.

We review reports within 24 hours. Content that breaches this policy is removed, and members who repeatedly break the community guidelines lose the ability to post in Charcha. We act on valid reports as quickly as we reasonably can, within the timeframes the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 require.

Copyright and takedown

If you own rights in material that appears in Anant Bhakti without your permission, write to our grievance officer with:

• your name and contact details;
• identification of the work you own rights in, and evidence of ownership;
• where in the app the material appears, precisely enough for us to find it;
• a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by you, your agent or the law;
• a statement that the information in your notice is accurate.

We will review the notice, remove or disable access to the material where the claim is substantiated, and tell you what we have done. If you believe material of yours was removed in error, write to us and we will reconsider.

Corrections

If you find an error in scripture text, a translation, a narration, a festival date or a help article, please tell us. Corrections to devotional and scriptural content are treated as a priority, because getting them wrong matters more than a typo elsewhere. Ananta Aayam publishes corrections without drawing attention away from the fix itself.
