India Legacy (indialegacy.in) is an independent website about Indian history, monuments, festivals and culture, written and run by Gaurav Thapa. This page explains what you can and can’t rely on when you use it.

Information is for general education

Articles on India Legacy are written for students, travellers and general readers. They are meant to inform and explain, not to replace textbooks, official records or expert advice. Nothing on this site is legal, financial, medical or other professional advice.

Accuracy

I check facts against books, official sources and other references before publishing, and I correct mistakes when they are pointed out. Even so, history is always being researched and debated, and details like opening hours, ticket prices and festival dates change. I can’t guarantee that every article is complete, current or free of errors.

If you are using information for an exam, a research paper or travel plans, please confirm the key facts with an official or academic source. If you find an error, email contact.indialegacy@gmail.com and I’ll look into it.

Opinions and interpretations

Some articles discuss how historians interpret events, or where a popular story is legend rather than recorded fact. These views are mine, based on the sources available when I wrote the article. They do not represent any government, institution, religion or community.

Links to other websites

Articles link to other websites, such as the ASI, UNESCO and museums, for reference and further reading. I don’t control those sites and am not responsible for their content, accuracy or availability. A link is not an endorsement.
