Temple Management

Darshan schedules that follow the calendar, not a spreadsheet

The problem

What is actually going wrong

Temple timings shift with tithi, festival and muhurat. Most temple software encodes them as static opening hours, so every festival becomes a manual override — and the override is often applied a day late.

Our approach

Drive the schedule from the festival engine directly. Because each festival carries its derivation, an administrator disputing a date can be shown the rule and the authority rather than being asked to trust the software.

Workflow

How the integration runs

  1. Subscribe

    Register a webhook for festival events with a 7-day lead time.

  2. Receive

    An HMAC-signed event arrives ahead of each festival, carrying the date and confidence.

  3. Adjust

    Darshan slots and staffing are generated for the festival day automatically.

  4. Justify

    The explain trace is surfaced in the admin UI, so the committee can audit the date.

Integration

Endpoints and outcomes

Endpoints used

/v1/festivals/v1/festivals/explain/v1/muhurat/day/v1/panchang

All of these are described in the OpenAPI 3.1 document, so you can generate a typed client rather than hand-writing request code.

What you get

  • No manual festival calendar to maintain each year
  • Disputes resolved with the rule and authority, not opinion
  • Muhurat windows computed for the temple’s actual latitude
