Frequently Asked Questions

MandirBD is the largest digital directory and community platform built exclusively for the followers of Sanatan Dharma in Bangladesh. Our primary objective is to bring all Hindu temples, ashrams, and pilgrimage sites scattered across the country under a single comprehensive digital umbrella. By leveraging modern technology, we aim to promote Sanatan Dharma and preserve its rich history accurately. On this platform, a user can not only find the geographical location of a temple but also access its detailed historical background, daily Puja and Aarti schedules, and information regarding upcoming festivals. Through this initiative, we seek to foster unity and brotherhood among the community while ensuring authentic information is readily available to everyone.

Yes, the MandirBD platform is absolutely free and open to everyone. Neither regular users nor temple authorities are required to pay any subscription fees or hidden charges to access its features. We firmly believe that religious and cultural information should be accessible to all without any financial barriers. This platform is a non-profit initiative driven by a group of passionate volunteers, software engineers, and devout individuals. The costs associated with servers, databases, and technological maintenance are currently covered by personal contributions and support from well-wishers. You can confidently use this website and participate in this noble cause by adding local temple information at no cost.

This project is not operated by any specific corporate organization or commercial entity. It is managed through the collaborative efforts of dedicated Sanatani software engineers, data analysts, researchers, and religious volunteers residing both in Bangladesh and abroad. Our team includes numerous young social workers who tirelessly collect accurate information about temples in their respective localities and add them to the database. Our core driving force is a genuine love for Sanatan Dharma and a strong desire to build a reliable digital archive for future generations. We believe that through our collective efforts, we can properly present the history and heritage of every Hindu temple in Bangladesh to the world.

The best way to receive the latest updates, news about newly launched features, and important announcements from MandirBD is by staying connected through our official social media platforms. We regularly publish updates about the site, lists of newly added temples, and news regarding major upcoming festivals on our Facebook page and community groups. Additionally, detailed articles and release notes are posted in the "News & Announcements" or blog section of our website. If you are a registered user, you can also navigate to your profile settings and enable email notifications. This ensures that any major update or significant event notification is delivered straight to your inbox.

In its initial phase, our primary focus and scope of work are entirely dedicated to collecting and preserving information about Hindu temples, ashrams, and mutts located within the borders of Bangladesh. Building a comprehensive database covering every district, upazila, and remote village of Bangladesh is our first and foremost goal. However, our platform's technological architecture is designed to be highly scalable, allowing us to incorporate temples from outside the country in the future if needed. We have long-term plans to eventually include historically significant pilgrimage sites located in neighboring India that hold immense importance for Bangladeshi Hindus. But for now, Bangladeshi temples remain our sole priority.

Currently, we provide all our services through a highly responsive, mobile-first website that delivers a smooth, app-like experience directly from any smartphone browser. If you prefer, you can use the "Add to Home Screen" feature on your mobile browser to install it as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for quick access. However, keeping user demand in mind, development for a dedicated native mobile application has already commenced. Very soon, we will launch the official MandirBD app on both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, which will feature offline support, personalized push notifications, and enhanced location-based services for a superior user experience.

No, you do not need any special degrees or prior professional experience to submit temple information, photos, or events on MandirBD. All that is required is your love for Sanatan Dharma and a sincere willingness to provide accurate information. Any regular user can create an account on the website and submit requests to add data. However, to maintain the high quality and reliability of the platform, every single piece of submitted information undergoes a strict manual verification process by our skilled admin panel before being published. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to provide authentic and verifiable data when submitting, which helps expedite the approval process.

MandirBD is an ongoing, crowdsourced project. There are thousands of temples scattered across Bangladesh, and it is practically impossible to collect data for all of them overnight. Our database is gradually growing richer every single day through the relentless hard work of our dedicated volunteers. If you cannot find information about a significant or ancient temple in your locality on our site, it simply means that no one has submitted data for that specific temple yet. In such cases, we humbly request you to take the initiative yourself—gather some basic information and clear photos, and submit them through our "Suggest Temple" or "Add Mandir" option to contribute to this noble endeavor.

Creating a new account on the MandirBD platform is incredibly simple and entirely free. To register, simply click on the "Login" or "Sign Up" button located at the top right corner of our website. You can choose to register manually by entering your email address and creating a secure password, or you can opt for the faster one-click social login using your Google or Facebook account. If you register via email, you will receive a verification link in your inbox which you must click to activate your account. Once your account is successfully created and verified, you will gain access to your personalized profile dashboard, where you can update your personal information and immediately begin contributing by adding new temples to the directory.

If you ever forget your account password, there is absolutely no need to worry; it can be recovered very easily and securely. Simply navigate to the login page and click on the "Forgot Password" link. You will be prompted to enter the email address associated with your registered account. Within a few moments, an automated password reset link will be sent to your inbox. By clicking that link, you will be redirected to a secure page where you can create a new password. For security purposes, please note that the reset link is time-sensitive and usually expires within 24 hours. If it expires, you will need to request a new one. Remember to check your spam or junk folder if the email doesn’t appear in your main inbox.

Yes, you have full control over your personal profile and can update your details and display picture at any time. To do this, log in to your account and click on your name or avatar at the top right corner, then select "My Profile" or "Profile Settings" from the dropdown menu. This will take you to an edit page where you can update your full name, contact number, personal biography, and upload a new profile picture. When uploading an image, please ensure it is clear and falls within the acceptable file size limit (typically 2-5 MB). After making your desired changes, always remember to click the "Save Changes" button to ensure your new information is successfully stored in our database.

To maintain the integrity of our database and prevent spam, we strongly advise and request users to maintain only one active account on the platform. Creating multiple fake or duplicate accounts goes against our community guidelines. Consolidating all your contributions—such as adding new temples, suggesting edits, or creating events—under a single account makes it much easier to track your points, earn contributor badges, and measure your overall impact on the community. If you have accidentally created more than one account, you can reach out to our support team and request them to merge your accounts. Accounts found intentionally engaging in spam behavior through multiple profiles may face permanent suspension by our automated security systems.

Yes, we deeply respect user privacy and your right to control your own data. You can choose to permanently delete your account at any given time. To initiate this process, navigate to your account settings and scroll down to locate the "Delete Account" option. For security reasons, you may be prompted to re-enter your password to confirm this action. Please be fully aware that the account deletion process is completely irreversible. Once deleted, all your personal information and profile details will be permanently erased from our active servers. However, any public contributions you made for the benefit of the community, such as temple information or public photos, may remain on the platform, though they will no longer be attributed to your name.

Using social media platforms like Google or Facebook to log in is a highly secure, modern, and widely accepted authentication method. When you choose to log in to MandirBD using these options, we only request and receive your most basic public information, such as your full name, email address, and profile picture. We do not have any access whatsoever to your social media passwords, private messages, or other sensitive personal data, nor is such information ever stored on our servers. Your data reaches us through industry-standard encrypted channels. We prioritize user privacy above all else and guarantee that your personal information is never sold, rented, or shared with third-party advertisers for commercial purposes under any circumstances.

Email verification is a critical and mandatory security measure implemented immediately after you create a new account on our platform. The primary reason for this step is to ensure the highest level of security for your account and to protect the platform from being flooded by automated bots and malicious spammers. By verifying your email, we confirm that you are a genuine human user and that we have a reliable channel to communicate with you regarding important account updates. While you might be able to log in without verification, you will be strictly restricted from utilizing core platform features, such as adding a new temple or editing existing information, until your email is successfully verified. You can always request a new verification link from your profile if needed.

To maintain a healthy, reliable, and respectful environment, MandirBD enforces a strict set of community guidelines. An account may face temporary or permanent suspension by our admin panel or automated systems for several severe violations. These include repeatedly and intentionally submitting false or fabricated temple information, posting abusive or inflammatory comments, uploading inappropriate or irrelevant images, or attempting to spam the platform using automated scripts or fake accounts. Furthermore, any content that hurts religious sentiments or promotes hatred will lead to immediate and strict disciplinary action. We urge all users to respect the sanctity of the platform. If you believe your account was suspended in error, you can submit an appeal through our contact page for manual review by our team.

Adding information about a new temple to the MandirBD platform is an incredibly straightforward and user-friendly process. First, ensure you are logged into your account. Then, navigate to the "Add Mandir" or "Suggest Temple" option from the main menu. You will be presented with a comprehensive form where you need to provide accurate details such as the temple’s name, exact address (division, district, upazila), primary deity, historical background, year of establishment (if known), and upload a few clear photographs. Pinpointing the exact location on the interactive map is highly recommended, as it greatly helps future visitors find the temple easily. Once you submit the form, our dedicated admin panel will carefully review the provided data. If everything is found to be accurate and reliable, the temple will typically be approved and published on the website within 1 to 3 business days.

As a crowdsourced platform, community participation is vital for keeping our information accurate. If you visit a temple page and notice that the provided name, address, historical details, or daily worship schedule contains errors, you can easily submit a request to correct it. On every temple’s profile page, you will find a "Suggest Edit" or "Edit Data" button. Clicking this button will open an editing form where you can input the correct information and submit it to us. Your suggested modifications will be meticulously reviewed by our admin panel. Once the authenticity of your corrections is verified, the main database will be updated promptly. This collaborative effort ensures our directory remains accurate and trustworthy for all users.

The "Claim Mandir" feature is specifically designed for the official management committee or authorized representatives of a temple. If you are the founder, a committee member, or an official representative, you can "Claim" the temple to gain official administrative access to its profile on our platform. To do this, visit the /claim-mandir page, search for your temple, and submit a formal application by uploading verifiable documents (such as an application written on the official letterhead/pad of the temple committee, along with your personal identification). Our admin team conducts a rigorous verification of these applications. Once successfully verified, your account will be granted "Official Admin" status for that specific temple, giving you full control to directly edit information, post official notices, and manage upcoming events without pending approvals.

As a regular user, once you upload a photo to the platform, you do not have direct administrative access to delete or permanently remove it. However, you are always welcome to upload newer, better-quality photos at any time using the "Add Photo" option on the temple page. If you have accidentally uploaded an incorrect, blurry, or irrelevant picture and wish to have it removed, you can use the "Report Error" feature on the temple page to notify the admin team. Conversely, if you have successfully "Claimed" the temple and are recognized as its verified admin, you will have complete freedom and control from your dashboard to upload, rearrange, or delete any photos associated with the temple. We always encourage users to upload clear, well-lit photos taken during the daytime.

Since MandirBD is a collaborative platform with many users adding data simultaneously, it is possible for a single temple to be mistakenly added to the database multiple times, creating duplicate entries. If you are browsing or searching and come across such duplicate temple profiles, we highly appreciate your help in resolving this. Please click the "Report" button available on the duplicate temple’s page, select "Duplicate Entry" as the reason, and notify the administration. Our data moderation team will immediately investigate the issue, consolidate the correct information and photos from both pages, and merge them into a single, accurate, and unified profile. This kind of active community reporting is incredibly helpful in maintaining the high quality and integrity of our platform’s data.

After a user submits data for a new temple, it typically takes between 1 to 3 business days for the entry to be approved and published publicly on the platform. The primary reason for this timeframe is our strict manual verification process. Our dedicated team of volunteers and admins meticulously review every single submission to ensure that the temple name, location coordinates, historical description, and uploaded photos are genuine, accurate, and appropriate. This rigorous checking is essential to prevent incomplete information, spam, or fake entries from polluting the directory. If the information you provide is comprehensive, clear, and easily verifiable, approvals often happen within a few hours. To avoid unnecessary delays, we strongly advise pinning the exact Google Maps location and providing high-quality photos.

Providing the exact location or pin-point on the map is absolutely crucial for visitors trying to find the temple. When you access the form to add a new temple, you will interact with an embedded map feature. You can either type the specific area name into the map’s search box or manually zoom in and drag the red marker to the precise geographic location where the temple stands. If you have GPS or location services enabled on your smartphone and you are physically present at the temple, you can simply click the "Use Current Location" button to auto-detect and set the coordinates. Before submitting your entry, we highly recommend toggling the map to "Satellite View" to visually confirm the pin against nearby roads, landmarks, and buildings, ensuring 100% accuracy.

MandirBD is fundamentally designed as a public directory for temples that are open to the general public for worship, visits, and darshan. If your family temple allows free access to regular devotees and visitors from outside your family, you are more than welcome to add it to our platform. However, if the temple is strictly private, restricted entirely to family members, and outsiders are not permitted to enter the premises, it is highly recommended not to list it in the directory. Listing a restricted private temple could mislead general devotees and cause unwanted harassment or inconvenience for both the visitors and your family. If you do choose to list a partially open family temple, please ensure you explicitly mention "Family Temple" or "Private" in the description to set clear expectations.

The Panjika feature on MandirBD has been meticulously designed as an essential daily companion for the Sanatani community. When you visit our Panjika page, you will find highly detailed daily astrological information, including the accurate Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and specific auspicious or inauspicious time slots such as Rahu Kaal and Amrit Yoga. Our database is regularly updated by strictly following established and widely accepted almanacs, primarily the Loknath Directory and Bishuddha Siddhanta Panjika. The most convenient aspect of this feature is its dynamic nature; it automatically adjusts the exact start and end times of a Tithi based on the user’s local sunrise and sunset calculations, ensuring you receive the most accurate religious schedule tailored to your specific geographic location.

Observing vows (Vrata) during Ekadashi, Amavasya, and Purnima holds immense spiritual significance in Sanatan Dharma. To facilitate this, the Panjika section on our website features a specialized, dedicated calendar view that focuses exclusively on these pivotal lunar phases. By accessing this calendar, you can view the precise beginning and breaking (Parana) times for all upcoming Ekadashi (e.g., Shayana Ekadashi, Utpanna Ekadashi), Amavasya, and Purnima dates for the current and future months. Furthermore, if you are a registered user, you can enable notification alerts in your profile settings. By doing so, our system will automatically send a timely reminder to your email address a day before the Vrata begins, ensuring you never miss observing these important religious rituals amidst your busy daily schedule.

The MandirBD platform is specifically built to bridge the gap between devotees and their local religious festivals. When you navigate to the profile page of any specific temple, you will prominently see an "Upcoming Events" section. This section lists all the scheduled festivals, such as Durga Puja, Janmashtami, or Kirtan gatherings, specifically organized by that temple committee. Additionally, you can visit our global Events page and use the intuitive location filters to search by your district or upazila, instantly generating a consolidated list of all festivals happening in your vicinity. If you "Favorite" or bookmark a particular temple using your account, you will automatically receive dashboard notifications whenever the admins of that temple announce a new event or festival.

Absolutely! MandirBD thrives as a community-driven initiative, and we actively encourage local devotees to share news about festivals happening in their areas. Any registered user or volunteer can easily add event details by clicking the "Add Event" button, accessible from their personal dashboard or directly on the respective temple's page. The event submission form allows you to provide comprehensive details, including the festival's name, start and end dates, a detailed daily schedule, special attractions (such as Prasad distribution or cultural performances), and an option to upload an attractive banner or promotional image. Once submitted, our admin team will promptly verify the details. Upon approval, the event will instantly become visible on both the temple’s profile and our global Events calendar.

In Sanatan Dharma, the precise calculation of Panjika timings is deeply dependent on the exact moment of local sunrise and sunset. Because geographical coordinates vary from one district to another, the sunrise time can differ by several minutes, slightly altering the exact duration of a Tithi or Vrata. Our system employs advanced algorithms using Bangladesh Standard Time (BST) and local coordinates to achieve the highest possible accuracy. However, despite our best technological efforts, if you notice a minor discrepancy of 1-2 minutes compared to your local customs or your local priest's almanac, we respectfully advise you to follow the guidance of your local temple priest or committee. Religious observances are profoundly tied to local traditions, and their ruling should always be considered final.

Yes, MandirBD is not just a tool for tracking upcoming events, but also serves as a permanent digital archive to preserve the beautiful memories of past religious celebrations. Once an event or festival has successfully concluded, verified temple admins or active volunteers can utilize the "Past Events" or "Event Gallery" section to upload high-quality photographs, videos, and detailed post-event summaries. This feature significantly enriches the historical digital footprint of the temple. Moreover, it allows devotees who were unable to attend the festival due to distance, illness, or professional commitments to witness the joy, grandeur, and spiritual ambiance of the celebration through these digital memories, helping to immortalize the local heritage online.

During a Solar Eclipse (Surya Grahan) or Lunar Eclipse (Chandra Grahan), followers of Sanatan Dharma observe various strict religious restrictions and specific worship protocols. Keeping the convenience and spiritual needs of our users in mind, we have incorporated a dedicated Eclipse section within our Panjika page. Whenever an eclipse is approaching, this section will display comprehensive details including the exact date, the local start and end timings of the eclipse, the peak moment, and the specific Sutak Kaal (inauspicious period). Furthermore, it provides detailed religious guidelines outlining permissible and restricted activities—such as dietary rules, chanting mantras, and temple closure timings—during the eclipse. This ensures that users can observe these astrological events correctly and without any confusion.

To become a volunteer on MandirBD, you do not need any prerequisites, professional degrees, or technical expertise. Any registered user who harbors a deep love for Sanatan Dharma and a sincere desire to serve the community can join our volunteer force. To start, simply create a free account on the website. Then, navigate to the "Volunteer Portal" or "Workbench" from your dashboard, carefully read through our basic operational guidelines, and accept the terms of contribution. Your primary responsibilities will involve exploring your locality to add new temple profiles, completing missing information in existing profiles, suggesting corrections for erroneous data, and uploading recent photos or festival updates to ensure our digital archive remains comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date.

Because MandirBD is a strictly non-profit initiative driven by devotion, we do not provide direct financial compensation or salaries to our volunteers. However, to deeply appreciate and acknowledge your tremendous hard work, we have implemented an engaging, gamified point and achievement system. Every time you successfully add a new temple, suggest an accurate edit, or create a community event, specific points are instantly credited to your account. As you accumulate these points, you will unlock prestigious digital badges (such as Bronze, Silver, or Gold Contributor) that will be proudly displayed on your public profile. Furthermore, the most exceptionally dedicated volunteers are prominently featured in our "Top Contributors" section, receiving special community honors for their selfless service.

Since MandirBD is a continuously evolving platform, community feedback is absolutely essential for its improvement. If you encounter any technical glitches or bugs while using the website—such as a button not working, an image failing to upload, or a page taking too long to load—you can immediately report it to our dedicated support team. By navigating to the "Support" or "Feedback" option available in your Workbench or the main menu, you can submit a detailed description of the issue along with helpful screenshots. Furthermore, if you have a brilliant idea or a feature suggestion that could make the platform more user-friendly, you can send it through the same form. Our development team regularly analyzes these suggestions and often implements them in future updates.

The Workbench is a highly powerful, dedicated control panel and dashboard specifically designed for MandirBD volunteers. Whenever you access the Volunteer Portal, the Workbench is your primary workspace. From this centralized hub, you can effortlessly track the real-time progress and history of all your contributions. You can monitor the exact current status—whether it is Pending, Approved, or Rejected—of the new temples you’ve added or the data edits you’ve suggested. Most importantly, if any of your submissions are rejected by the admin team, the Workbench provides detailed, specific feedback explaining exactly why it was declined. This constructive feedback loop is an invaluable tool that helps you understand platform guidelines better and ensures your future submissions are flawlessly accurate.

Maintaining the absolute highest standard of data quality, accuracy, and sanctity on the MandirBD platform is our top priority. If our data moderation team or automated security algorithms detect that a user is intentionally and repeatedly submitting fake, fabricated, or spam information—such as non-existent temple names, irrelevant or inappropriate images, or completely false addresses—strict action will be taken. Under our stringent community guidelines, such accounts face an immediate zero-tolerance policy and can be temporarily suspended or permanently banned without prior warning. While we understand that honest human errors can occasionally happen and are easily corrected, maliciously attempting to pollute the directory compromises the trust of thousands of devotees. Therefore, we earnestly request all volunteers to verify the authenticity of their data before hitting submit.

The smooth, day-to-day operation of our platform relies heavily on a team of highly trusted, responsible, and capable moderators. If you consistently work as a regular volunteer over an extended period with unwavering honesty, dedication, and precision, our admin panel will certainly take notice of your exceptional performance. If your submitted data maintains a consistently excellent quality, you maintain a strong position on the leaderboard, and you demonstrate a profound understanding of the platform’s rules and vision, our core team may reach out to you directly. You could be officially promoted to the prestigious role of a "Community Moderator" or "Verified Admin." In this elevated role, you will be granted the special authority and profound responsibility to directly verify, edit, and approve submissions made by other users, making you a vital pillar of this digital endeavor.

Yes, absolutely! MandirBD is envisioned not merely as a directory, but as a vast, rich digital library and knowledge hub for the practice and history of Sanatan Dharma. We maintain a comprehensive Blog and Article section where you are highly encouraged to submit your own original writings. You can write insightful essays explaining profound aspects of Hindu philosophy, detailing the hidden, glorious histories of ancient temples, or interpreting the deep spiritual significance behind various religious rituals and festivals. If your submitted article is well-researched, authentically informative, and aligns perfectly with our editorial standards, it will be proudly published on our website featuring your name and a link to your profile. This allows your valuable research and knowledge to enlighten thousands of Sanatani readers worldwide while significantly enriching our digital archives.

The "Mohapurush" directory on the MandirBD platform is a very special addition designed specifically to preserve the rich biographies and teachings of famous saints, spiritual masters, and gurus who were born or practiced their spiritual sadhana on the soil of Bengal. Its primary goal is to compile the life histories, profound philosophies, and invaluable quotes of great personalities such as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Loknath Brahmachari, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Anandamayi Ma, and Thakur Anukulchandra all in one accessible place. This feature was introduced to ensure that the current and future generations can easily learn about our extraordinarily rich spiritual heritage and draw inspiration from their ideals. Furthermore, each profile links directly to the geographical temples and ashrams associated with that specific saint.

Since MandirBD operates as a community-driven platform, we highly encourage local users to contribute information regarding revered local saints or spiritual figures. If you have profound knowledge about a spiritual personality in your locality who has made significant contributions to the community and religion, you can easily submit their details to our platform. By using the "Add Mohapurush" submission form, you can provide their name, dates of birth and passing, a brief yet accurate biography, key philosophical teachings, and the names of any associated ashrams or temples. Our dedicated editorial panel will meticulously verify the provided information, and once authenticated, it will be proudly published in the main directory for everyone to read.

Providing 100% accurate information on highly sensitive topics such as the lives and philosophies of revered saints is one of our utmost priorities. Before any user-submitted biography or quote is published on the platform, our expert editorial team conducts a highly rigorous verification process. During this meticulous verification, we cross-reference the submitted data with established, reliable religious texts, biography literature from renowned publishers, and official publications released directly by the respective ashrams or mutts. If robust supporting evidence cannot be found for a particular claim, it is strictly excluded from the directory. We also actively urge contributors to cite proper references or book names when submitting data, which significantly streamlines the verification process and maintains top-tier quality.

One of the most unique and powerful features of our platform is the "Integrated Linking System." When you visit the detailed profile of a Mohapurush (for example, Loknath Brahmachari), you will find a dedicated section labeled "Related Temples" directly beneath their biography. This section displays a dynamic, clickable list of all temples and ashrams located within Bangladesh that are historically associated with their birthplace, places of sadhana, or named in their honor. Clicking on any temple name in that list will instantly redirect you to that specific temple’s comprehensive profile page. This seamless integration allows devotees to easily discover places associated with their beloved spiritual masters and effortlessly plan their pilgrimage or visit.

Absolutely! Spreading the invaluable wisdom, teachings, and philosophies of these great spiritual masters to a wider audience is one of our primary goals. To facilitate this, a highly visible "Share" button is integrated directly into every Mohapurush’s profile page, as well as next to their individual quotes. By clicking this button, you can instantly share these inspiring biographies and profound teachings with your friends and family across various popular social media platforms, including WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter (X). In addition, we regularly post carefully selected quotes as the "Quote of the Day" on our official Facebook page, which you can easily share on your timeline to actively participate in digital Dharma Prachar.

No, our Mohapurush directory is absolutely not limited only to ancient or medieval saints. While we place immense importance on preserving the biographies of monumental historical figures like Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu or Atish Dipankar, we give equal and profound importance to compiling data on relatively recent spiritual gurus, social reformers, and religious leaders. Personalities who have made monumental contributions to the propagation of Sanatan Dharma and social reformation during the 20th or 21st centuries are prominently featured here as well. Our ultimate vision is to construct a holistic, comprehensive spiritual history of Sanatan Dharma, meticulously preserving the life philosophies of all great personalities spanning from the ancient eras right up to the modern day.

Yes, the appearance (Abirbhav) and disappearance (Tirobhav) days of great saints hold immense spiritual significance for followers of Sanatan Dharma. To honor this, our dynamic Panjika and Event system is deeply integrated with the Mohapurush directory. Whenever pivotal dates approach—such as Sri Krishna Janmashtami, the birth anniversary of Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, or the Tirobhav Tithi of Loknath Brahmachari—they automatically and prominently appear on our global Event Calendar. If you choose to "Follow" a specific saint’s profile on the platform, you will receive specialized push notifications or email alerts reminding you of their upcoming anniversaries. Furthermore, on these highly auspicious days, the platform’s homepage features a special banner to remind all users of the day’s profound historical importance.

The "Hall of Honor" on the MandirBD platform is a highly prestigious and specialized archive dedicated to honoring exceptional Sanatani individuals who have made monumental contributions to the betterment of society, their country, or the entire world. The Sanatani community has produced countless luminaries who have pioneered groundbreaking work in fields such as science, literature, social welfare, freedom struggles, medicine, and the arts. The primary objective of this section is to digitally preserve and proudly showcase the legacy of these great scientists, social workers, martyrs, and educators to the global audience. Through this initiative, we aim to educate current and future generations about our glorious history and deeply inspire them with the ideals of these extraordinary human beings who are the pride of Sanatan Dharma.

This prestigious section is reserved primarily for individuals of the Sanatan Dharma who have achieved extraordinary excellence in their respective professional or civic fields and have worked selflessly for the greater good of humanity or their motherland. This includes renowned scientists who have made world-changing discoveries, dedicated social workers who have fought for human rights, brave freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives for the nation, or legendary figures who have profoundly enriched art and literature. It is not limited to religious figures; rather, any accomplished Sanatani who has dedicated their life to human welfare—regardless of their specific profession—is highly eligible to be featured here. They can be historical legends from the past or contemporary living legends making a difference today.

Because MandirBD is fundamentally a community-driven initiative, we actively encourage our users to bring the stories of great people from their communities to our attention. If you know of an exceptional Sanatani personality who has made a significant positive impact on society or the nation, you can easily propose their inclusion. Simply navigate to the "Nominate for Hall of Honor" form available on our website. You will need to provide their full name, their field of expertise, a detailed description of their extraordinary contributions, and ideally, some verifiable references or news links as proof of their work. Our dedicated editorial team will meticulously review your nomination, and if it meets our criteria, their profile will be proudly published in the Hall of Honor.

While both sections are designed to deeply honor great personalities, they focus on entirely different spheres of contribution. The "Mohapurush" directory is exclusively dedicated to spiritual saints, ascetics, yogis, and religious gurus who have enlightened society through intense spiritual sadhana, devotion to God, and divine philosophy (for example, Loknath Brahmachari or Ramakrishna Paramahamsa). On the other hand, the "Hall of Honor" is specifically curated for Sanatanis who have achieved greatness and served humanity in secular or worldly domains—such as science, technology, social reform, national defense, or education (for example, the great scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose or the social reformer Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar). This ensures we equally celebrate both the spiritual and secular triumphs of our community.

Yes, absolutely. We firmly believe that individuals whose contributions to society and the nation are undeniable deserve profound respect and recognition, whether they have passed away or are still actively working among us. If a contemporary Sanatani scientist, doctor, philanthropist, or social worker achieves widespread national or international acclaim for their groundbreaking work, we proudly feature their ongoing contributions in our Hall of Honor. Our ultimate goal is to offer well-deserved respect to these talented individuals during their lifetimes and to permanently archive their life’s work digitally. By doing so, we hope that the younger generation can be directly inspired by their living examples and dedicate themselves to serving the country and society.
