Affiliate Disclosure

Originally Effective: 08 March 2026
Last Updated: 10 August 2026

Simhastha.org.in is an independently owned and operated informational, educational, community, pilgrimage-assistance and digital facilitation platform.

To support the operation, maintenance, research, content development and continued availability of the Platform, Simhastha.org.in may earn revenue through:

• affiliate links;

• referral links;

• advertising;

• sponsored content;

• sponsored placements;

• partnerships;

• lead-generation or referral arrangements where legally permitted;

• commissions;

• promotional collaborations; and

• other clearly disclosed commercial relationships.

This Affiliate Disclosure explains how such relationships may work and how they may affect content, recommendations and links appearing on Simhastha.org.in.

---

1. LEGAL OPERATOR

Simhastha.org.in is operated by:

Legal Operator / Owner:
Nageshwar Patidar

Platform / Trade Name:
Simhastha.org.in

Email:
[email protected]

For purposes of this Affiliate Disclosure, the terms “Simhastha.org.in”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “Website” and “Platform” refer to the above operator and the Simhastha.org.in Platform, as applicable.

---

2. INDEPENDENT PLATFORM

Simhastha.org.in is an independent Platform.

Unless expressly disclosed in relation to a particular collaboration, Simhastha.org.in is not affiliated with, authorised by, sponsored by, endorsed by or officially connected with:

• Government of India;

• Government of Madhya Pradesh;

• Ujjain District Administration;

• Simhastha Mela Administration;

• Tourism Authorities;

• temple administrations;

• Akharas;

• government departments; or

• any other governmental, statutory or religious authority.

An affiliate, advertising or sponsorship relationship with a private company does not create any governmental affiliation.

---

3. WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE LINK?

An affiliate link is a link containing tracking information or another attribution mechanism that may allow a merchant, platform or partner to identify that a visitor was referred through Simhastha.org.in.

If you click an affiliate link and subsequently perform an eligible action, Simhastha.org.in may receive compensation.

An eligible action may include, depending on the applicable programme:

• making a booking;

• purchasing a product;

• purchasing a service;

• creating an Account;

• registering with a provider;

• subscribing to a service;

• completing a qualifying enquiry; or

• another action defined by the relevant affiliate programme.

The exact method used to determine eligibility, attribution and compensation is normally established by the relevant third-party affiliate programme.

---

4. HOW SIMHASTHA.ORG.IN MAY EARN MONEY

Simhastha.org.in may receive compensation in different ways.

This may include:

• a fixed referral fee;

• a percentage commission;

• cost-per-click compensation;

• cost-per-lead compensation;

• cost-per-acquisition compensation;

• booking commissions;

• promotional fees;

• sponsored-content fees;

• advertising revenue;

• complimentary services;

• complimentary accommodation;

• discounts;

• free products;

• promotional benefits;

• marketing credits; or

• another disclosed commercial benefit.

Compensation may therefore be monetary or non-monetary.

Where a commercial relationship could reasonably affect how a user interprets a recommendation, review, mention or promotion, an appropriate disclosure should be provided.

---

5. AFFILIATE DISCLOSURES ON INDIVIDUAL PAGES

This Affiliate Disclosure page provides general information about our commercial relationships.

However, where appropriate, affiliate or sponsored content may also carry a disclosure near the relevant content or link.

Examples may include:

Affiliate Link
Affiliate
Ad
Advertisement
Sponsored
Sponsored Content
Paid Partnership
Partner Link

or another clear disclosure appropriate to the particular format.

Users should not be required to locate this general Affiliate Disclosure page in order to discover a material commercial relationship that should reasonably be disclosed directly with particular content.

---

6. AFFILIATE LINK IDENTIFICATION

Affiliate links may appear:

• inside articles;

• in travel guides;

• in accommodation guides;

• in recommendation pages;

• in comparison pages;

• in resource sections;

• in banners;

• in buttons;

• in tables;

• in newsletters;

• in Community-related content where permitted;

• in social-media content;

• in WhatsApp or other communications where appropriate; or

• elsewhere on the Platform.

Where reasonably practicable and appropriate to the format, commercial relationships will be identified through surrounding wording, disclosure labels or other appropriate notices.

---

7. NO GUARANTEE THAT EVERY COMMERCIAL LINK IS IDENTICAL

Different affiliate programmes use different tracking and compensation models.

Accordingly:

• some links may generate commissions;

• some links may not generate commissions;

• some providers may compensate us for enquiries;

• some providers may pay only after a completed transaction;

• some relationships may involve fixed sponsorship fees;

• some commercial placements may not depend on a transaction; and

• some ordinary external links may have no commercial relationship at all.

The presence of an external link does not automatically mean that it is an affiliate link.

---

8. NO SEPARATE AFFILIATE FEE CHARGED BY US

Simhastha.org.in does not ordinarily add a separate charge to a user's purchase merely because the user accessed a Third-Party Provider through an affiliate link.

However, the Third-Party Provider controls its own prices, fees, taxes, discounts, dynamic pricing, booking charges and commercial terms.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that:

• an affiliate price will always equal the provider's direct price;

• the same price will be available to every user;

• a promotional price will remain available;

• another website will not offer a different price; or

• a provider will not subsequently change its pricing.

Users should review the final price and terms displayed by the provider before completing a transaction.

---

9. DISCOUNTS AND PROMOTIONAL OFFERS

Some affiliate relationships may provide:

• discounts;

• promotional codes;

• special offers;

• bundled benefits;

• early access; or

• other promotional benefits.

Any such offer may be subject to:

• availability;

• eligibility;

• expiry dates;

• provider conditions;

• geographical limitations;

• inventory;

• blackout periods; or

• other restrictions imposed by the provider.

Simhastha.org.in does not guarantee continued availability of a third-party promotion.

---

10. TRAVEL AND ACCOMMODATION AFFILIATES

Simhastha.org.in may establish commercial relationships with providers relating to:

• hotels;

• guest houses;

• resorts;

• hostels;

• homestays;

• accommodation platforms;

• travel-booking platforms;

• tour operators;

• transport services;

• pilgrimage services;

• travel activities;

• travel tools; and

• other services relevant to visitors and pilgrims.

We may receive compensation where users make eligible bookings or complete other qualifying actions.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the actual accommodation or travel service is provided by the relevant independent Third-Party Provider.

---

11. PILGRIMAGE AND LOCAL SERVICE AFFILIATES

The Platform may contain commercial or referral relationships involving services such as:

• pilgrimage planning;

• tours;

• local transportation;

• sightseeing;

• travel assistance;

• accommodation;

• guides;

• travel-related services; and

• other visitor services.

The existence of an affiliate relationship does not transform Simhastha.org.in into the operator of the underlying third-party service unless we expressly state otherwise.

---

12. CONSUMER PRODUCT AFFILIATES

Affiliate links may relate to products considered relevant to our visitors, such as:

• books;

• travel accessories;

• luggage;

• pilgrimage accessories;

• devotional products;

• clothing;

• technology accessories;

• travel equipment;

• educational products; and

• other lawful consumer products.

Product availability, specifications, warranties, delivery, refunds and after-sales services are controlled by the relevant seller or marketplace unless expressly stated otherwise.

---

13. DIGITAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

Affiliate relationships may also involve:

• applications;

• travel-planning tools;

• digital subscriptions;

• software;

• online learning platforms;

• booking tools;

• digital products;

• online services; and

• other relevant digital resources.

Users should review the applicable provider's terms before purchasing or subscribing.

---

14. EDUCATIONAL, WELLNESS AND SPIRITUAL PROGRAMMES

Where appropriate, Simhastha.org.in may contain affiliate, referral or sponsored relationships relating to third-party:

• educational programmes;

• workshops;

• meditation programmes;

• yoga programmes;

• spiritual retreats;

• pilgrimage programmes;

• learning platforms; or

• similar services.

A commercial relationship does not guarantee that a particular programme is suitable for every person.

Users should independently consider:

• programme content;

• instructor credentials;

• health requirements;

• terms;

• cancellation policies;

• suitability; and

• other relevant information

before enrolling.

Third-party programmes are separate from the independent Simhastha Volunteer Academy operated through Simhastha.org.in unless expressly stated otherwise.

---

15. INSURANCE AND REGULATED FINANCIAL PRODUCTS

Insurance, investment products and certain financial services are subject to specialised regulatory requirements.

Unless Simhastha.org.in has established an arrangement that is legally permissible for the relevant activity and all required authorisations, registrations, disclosures and partner conditions have been satisfied, Simhastha.org.in does not hold itself out as an insurance intermediary, insurance adviser, investment adviser, securities adviser, broker or regulated financial intermediary.

General informational references to insurance or financial topics do not constitute personalised:

• insurance advice;

• investment advice;

• financial advice;

• securities advice; or

• recommendation of a regulated financial product.

We will not rely on this general Affiliate Disclosure as authority to conduct a regulated activity that independently requires a licence, registration or other regulatory approval.

Where a regulated financial or insurance partnership is introduced in the future, any additional legally required disclosure, registration information or provider information should be displayed separately.

---

16. SPONSORED CONTENT

Simhastha.org.in may occasionally publish content for which compensation or another material benefit has been received.

Such content may include:

• sponsored articles;

• sponsored guides;

• sponsored videos;

• sponsored social-media content;

• sponsored listings;

• promotional features; or

• other paid collaborations.

Where appropriate, sponsored content will be identified using a disclosure such as:

Sponsored
Advertisement
Paid Partnership

or another clear label.

A sponsorship should not be intentionally disguised as wholly independent editorial content where disclosure of the commercial relationship is appropriate.

---

17. SPONSORED PLACEMENTS AND FEATURED LISTINGS

Some businesses or providers may pay for enhanced placement, visibility or promotional positioning.

Examples may include:

• featured hotels;

• featured businesses;

• promoted listings;

• sponsored recommendations;

• sponsored cards;

• promoted offers; or

• preferred placements.

Where a placement is paid or sponsored and the commercial nature would not otherwise be reasonably apparent, it should be appropriately identified.

A paid placement does not by itself mean that the provider is objectively the best available option for every user.

---

18. ADVERTISING IS DIFFERENT FROM AFFILIATE MARKETING

Simhastha.org.in may also display conventional advertising.

Advertising may generate revenue based upon:

• impressions;

• clicks;

• campaigns;

• conversions; or

• another advertising arrangement.

An advertisement does not necessarily involve an affiliate relationship.

Advertisements, affiliate relationships and sponsored content are different commercial arrangements and may be disclosed differently according to their nature.

---

19. EDITORIAL INDEPENDENCE

Commercial relationships do not authorise us to knowingly publish false or misleading information.

We aim to maintain a reasonable distinction between informational content and paid promotion.

However, users should understand that commercial considerations may influence matters such as:

• whether a commercial partner is included;

• whether an eligible offer is displayed;

• which affiliate programmes are available to us;

• which providers participate in sponsored placements; or

• which commercial products can be monetised through the Platform.

Where compensation materially affects the nature or presentation of content, appropriate disclosure should be provided.

We do not guarantee that every recommendation on Simhastha.org.in represents an exhaustive comparison of every provider, product or service available in the market.

---

20. RECOMMENDATIONS ARE NOT GUARANTEES

A reference, description, ranking, review, comparison, affiliate link or recommendation does not constitute a guarantee that:

• the provider will satisfy every user;

• the product is appropriate for every person;

• the provider will remain operational;

• prices will remain unchanged;

• availability will continue;

• all information supplied by the provider is correct; or

• the user will obtain a particular outcome.

Users should independently consider their needs before purchasing or booking.

---

21. NO AUTOMATIC ENDORSEMENT OF EVERY THIRD PARTY

An affiliate relationship means that a commercial relationship may exist.

It does not automatically mean that Simhastha.org.in:

• guarantees the provider;

• guarantees every statement made by the provider;

• guarantees its products;

• guarantees its services;

• assumes the provider's contractual obligations;

• controls the provider; or

• warrants that the provider will be suitable for every user.

Where we expressly recommend a product or provider, that recommendation should be understood according to the content in which it appears and any associated commercial disclosure.

---

22. DUE DILIGENCE AND CHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES

We may consider information available to us when selecting or discussing partners.

However, businesses, products and services can change over time.

A provider may subsequently change:

• ownership;

• management;

• quality;

• prices;

• policies;

• customer support;

• terms;

• availability; or

• service standards.

Users should therefore perform their own reasonable checks before entering into material transactions.

---

23. THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS ARE INDEPENDENT

Unless expressly stated otherwise, affiliate merchants and service providers are independent third parties.

They are responsible for their own:

• products;

• bookings;

• services;

• prices;

• taxes;

• availability;

• warranties;

• cancellation policies;

• refund policies;

• privacy practices;

• security;

• customer support;

• contractual obligations; and

• legal compliance.

Simhastha.org.in does not become a party to every transaction merely because the user reached the provider through an affiliate link.

---

24. BOOKINGS AND PURCHASES

A purchase, booking or registration completed on a Third-Party Provider's website is generally a transaction between the user and that provider.

Users should carefully review:

• final price;

• taxes;

• cancellation conditions;

• refund rules;

• payment terms;

• booking conditions;

• delivery terms;

• restrictions; and

• provider policies

before completing the transaction.

Where Simhastha.org.in directly becomes the seller or contracting party for a particular service, that role will be separately identified and the relevant transaction terms will apply.

---

25. REFUNDS, CANCELLATIONS AND DISPUTES

Where a user completes a transaction directly with an independent affiliate provider, requests concerning:

• refunds;

• cancellations;

• modifications;

• delivery;

• booking problems;

• service complaints;

• product defects; or

• payment disputes

will generally need to be addressed to that provider.

Simhastha.org.in may provide assistance where appropriate but cannot guarantee that an independent provider will grant a particular remedy.

Nothing in this section limits any mandatory consumer right available under applicable law.

---

26. THIRD-PARTY PRICING AND INFORMATION

Information supplied by affiliate partners may include:

• prices;

• ratings;

• room availability;

• product descriptions;

• photographs;

• specifications;

• offers;

• schedules;

• cancellation conditions; or

• promotional information.

Such information may change without immediate notice to Simhastha.org.in.

Users should rely on the final information displayed by the provider when completing a transaction.

---

27. TRACKING AND ATTRIBUTION

Affiliate links may use:

• cookies;

• referral parameters;

• click identifiers;

• tracking URLs;

• session identifiers;

• conversion pixels;

• server-to-server attribution; or

• other permitted technologies

to determine whether a qualifying referral or transaction occurred.

The exact tracking technology depends upon the relevant affiliate or advertising provider.

Information concerning cookies, advertising identifiers and personal-data processing is addressed separately in our Privacy Policy and applicable cookie or consent notices.

---

28. AFFILIATE COOKIE PERIODS

Different affiliate programmes may use different attribution periods.

For example, a referral may remain eligible for commission for a limited period following a user's click.

The applicable duration and attribution rules are normally controlled by the third-party affiliate programme and may change.

Simhastha.org.in does not guarantee that every referral will generate a commission.

---

29. MATERIAL CONNECTIONS

A commercial relationship can exist even when no direct cash payment has been made.

A material connection may include circumstances where Simhastha.org.in or its operator receives:

• money;

• commission;

• free accommodation;

• complimentary travel;

• free products;

• gifts;

• discounts;

• promotional benefits;

• services;

• media exchanges;

• advertising credits; or

• other benefits

connected with coverage or promotion.

Where such a relationship is relevant to understanding promotional content, an appropriate disclosure should be made.

---

30. REVIEWS, TESTIMONIALS AND EXPERIENCES

Where we publish a personal review or experience concerning a partner, any relevant commercial relationship should be disclosed where appropriate.

Receiving compensation or a complimentary service does not authorise the publication of knowingly false claims.

Individual experiences may differ.

A positive experience reported by one person does not guarantee an identical experience for every user.

---

31. AFFILIATE LINKS IN SOCIAL MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS

Affiliate relationships may also appear outside the Website, including through:

• Instagram;

• Facebook;

• YouTube;

• WhatsApp;

• Telegram;

• email;

• other social platforms; or

• future communication channels.

Where a post or communication contains a material commercial relationship requiring disclosure, the commercial nature should be communicated in a manner appropriate to that medium.

This general Website disclosure is not intended to replace a disclosure that should reasonably appear directly with a particular promotional communication.

---

32. USER-GENERATED AFFILIATE LINKS

Users, Community members or third parties are not automatically authorised to publish their own affiliate, referral, promotional or commercial links through Simhastha.org.in.

Such links may be:

• restricted;

• removed;

• marked;

• moderated; or

• prohibited

in accordance with our Terms and Community Guidelines.

The presence of an unauthorised user-submitted commercial link does not mean Simhastha.org.in has entered into that affiliate relationship.

---

33. AFFILIATE PROGRAMME RULES

Affiliate partners may impose their own:

• programme terms;

• advertising requirements;

• trademark rules;

• disclosure requirements;

• attribution rules;

• eligibility criteria;

• prohibited practices; and

• commission conditions.

Simhastha.org.in may modify or discontinue use of an affiliate programme where necessary to comply with applicable terms or legal requirements.

---

34. AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIPS MAY CHANGE

Affiliate relationships are not permanent.

We may:

• add partners;

• remove partners;

• change affiliate networks;

• terminate programmes;

• replace links;

• discontinue promotions; or

• modify monetisation arrangements

without updating every older article immediately.

A link that was previously an affiliate link may stop being one, and an eligible commercial relationship may be introduced later with appropriate disclosure.

---

35. COMPARISON CONTENT

Where Simhastha.org.in publishes comparisons of products or providers, the comparison may be limited to:

• providers researched by us;

• providers available through relevant affiliate programmes;

• providers selected according to editorial criteria;

• providers that supplied sufficient information; or

• another stated selection methodology.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a comparison should not be assumed to include every provider available in the market.

Commercial relationships may exist with one or more providers appearing in a comparison.

---

36. RANKINGS AND “BEST” LISTS

Articles containing expressions such as:

• “best”;

• “top”;

• “recommended”;

• “popular”;

• “featured”;

• “our picks”; or

• similar editorial descriptions

may involve editorial judgment and may also contain commercial relationships.

Such terminology should not be interpreted as an objective governmental, regulatory or universal ranking.

Where a placement is specifically paid or sponsored, it should be identified appropriately.

---

37. NO GUARANTEE OF COMMISSION

Users are not required to ensure that Simhastha.org.in receives affiliate compensation.

Tracking may fail because of:

• browser settings;

• cookie restrictions;

• tracking prevention;

• provider systems;

• attribution rules;

• another referral source;

• programme conditions; or

• other technical reasons.

Simhastha.org.in does not charge users for lost affiliate attribution.

---

38. PRIVACY

Affiliate and referral technology may involve information concerning clicks, referrals, transactions or conversion attribution.

Personal information collected directly by Simhastha.org.in is handled according to our Privacy Policy.

Third-party merchants and affiliate networks may independently process information under their own privacy policies.

Users should review the privacy practices of the relevant provider where appropriate.

---

39. CHILDREN

Simhastha.org.in does not intend to use affiliate relationships to conduct prohibited targeted advertising or behavioural monitoring of children.

Commercial content directed toward or accessible by younger users should be handled consistently with applicable legal requirements and our Privacy Policy.

Children should not independently enter transactions requiring adult legal capacity.

---

40. NO WAIVER OF CONSUMER RIGHTS

Nothing in this Affiliate Disclosure is intended to:

• exclude a mandatory consumer right;

• excuse misleading advertising;

• permit false representations;

• authorise an unfair trade practice;

• remove a legally non-excludable warranty or remedy; or

• restrict rights that cannot lawfully be restricted.

Applicable mandatory law will prevail where necessary.

---

41. LIMITATION REGARDING THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Simhastha.org.in is not responsible for the independent acts or omissions of Third-Party Providers merely because a provider was accessed through an affiliate link.

This may include matters such as:

• provider availability;

• provider price changes;

• third-party service quality;

• product quality;

• provider cancellation decisions;

• provider refund decisions;

• delivery problems;

• independent customer support; or

• third-party Website availability.

This section does not exclude liability or consumer remedies that cannot legally be excluded.

---

42. RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER POLICIES

This Affiliate Disclosure should be read together with our:

• Privacy Policy;

• Terms and Conditions;

• Disclaimer;

• Cookie or Consent Notice;

• Community Guidelines; and

• applicable booking, programme or service-specific terms.

If another page contains a specific commercial disclosure for a particular partnership, that specific disclosure should be read together with this general Affiliate Disclosure.

---

43. CHANGES TO THIS AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure to reflect changes in:

• affiliate programmes;

• advertisers;

• sponsorship relationships;

• Platform functionality;

• applicable laws;

• advertising standards;

• provider requirements;

• monetisation arrangements; or

• business operations.

The latest version will be published on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

---

This Affiliate Disclosure will be interpreted in accordance with applicable laws of India.

Nothing in this Disclosure prevents a user from exercising any legally available right or remedy before a competent:

• consumer authority;

• regulator;

• tribunal;

• consumer forum;

• court; or

• other competent authority.

Subject to mandatory statutory jurisdiction requirements, matters relating to Simhastha.org.in may be dealt with by competent courts having jurisdiction in:
