Help Keep This Dwarka Guide Online and Free

ShreeDwarkadhish.in is an independent pilgrim guide, run and paid for by one devotee. If these pages helped you plan your darshan, a small contribution keeps them online and free for the next pilgrim.

Contribute Now Why We Need It

Please Read This Before You Give

Money contributed here does not reach the Shri Dwarkadhish Temple. It goes to one place only: the cost of keeping this website running.

The name of this site carries the Lord's name and every page is about his temple, so a devotee arriving at a page marked "Donate" could reasonably assume the offering reaches the temple. It does not. ShreeDwarkadhish.in is an independent guide for pilgrims, not the official website of the Shri Dwarkadhish Temple Trust, the Devasthan Samiti or any government body.

"If your wish is to make an offering to Lord Dwarkadhish, please do it at the temple's own donation counter in Dwarka. This page is only for the upkeep of the website that brought you here."

Why This Website Needs Support

This site began as personal notes, because the information available online about Dwarka was often outdated or simply wrong. Aarti timings did not match the board outside the temple. Ferry schedules were years old. Distances were copied from one page to another without anyone checking them.

Those notes are now 485 pages in English, Hindi and Gujarati, covering temple timings, aarti schedules, distances, ferry details, itineraries and travel guidance. All of it is free. There is no login, no paywall and no premium version, and that will not change.

Free for you is not free to run, though. Keeping a site of this size online, secure and up to date is a recurring cost that is currently carried by one person, with a little help from advertising. Support from readers changes that, and it changes something for you too: the more this page receives, the less the site has to lean on ads.

What Your Contribution Goes Towards

Running a website of this size is a recurring cost, not a one-time job that finished when the pages were written.

Monthly

Hosting and Servers

All 485 pages sit on a paid server that is billed every month, whether ten people visit or ten thousand.

Yearly

Domain and Security

The domain renewal, the SSL certificate behind the padlock on every page, the info@ email, and daily backups.

Ongoing

Keeping Pages Correct

Timings, fares and schedules change. A guide that is not maintained becomes a liability rather than a help.

Ongoing

Three Languages

Every correction has to be made in English, Hindi and Gujarati, so all three versions stay in step.

There is no team, no office and no salary behind this site. Support simply keeps it running.

Questions Pilgrims Ask Before Giving

Does this donation go to the Dwarkadhish Temple?
No. Money given on this page goes only towards running the website shreedwarkadhish.in. ShreeDwarkadhish.in is an independent pilgrim guide and is not affiliated with the Shri Dwarkadhish Temple Trust, the Devasthan Samiti or any government body. To make an offering to the temple itself, please use the donation counter inside the temple premises in Dwarka.
Is my donation eligible for 80G tax exemption?
No. ShreeDwarkadhish.in is not a registered trust, society or NGO and does not hold 12A or 80G registration. Your contribution is a voluntary gift towards website upkeep and cannot be claimed as a deduction. We email you an acknowledgement receipt, which is not a tax-exemption certificate.
What is the minimum amount I can donate?
The minimum is 10 rupees. There are ready-made amounts of 51, 101 and 251 rupees, and you can enter any other amount you are comfortable with. Please give only what you can spare comfortably.
How is the payment processed and is it safe?
Payments are processed by Razorpay, an RBI-authorised payment gateway. You can pay by UPI, debit card, credit card, net banking or wallet. Your card number, UPI PIN and bank credentials are entered on Razorpay's own secure window and are never seen or stored by this website.
Will I get a receipt for my donation?
Yes. As soon as the payment succeeds, an acknowledgement receipt is emailed to you from info@shreedwarkadhish.in with the amount, date, receipt number and payment ID. If it has not arrived within a few minutes, please check your spam or promotions folder.
Are contributions refundable?
No. A contribution is voluntary and cannot be reversed once it is made, so please confirm the amount before you proceed. The amount is shown to you on the form and again on the payment window, and you are asked to tick a confirmation box before paying. If money was debited but you did not receive a receipt, write to info@shreedwarkadhish.in with the payment ID and we will check what happened.
Do I have to donate to use this website?
No. All 485 pages remain completely free in English, Hindi and Gujarati. There is no login, no paywall and no premium version. Contributions are entirely voluntary and simply reduce how much the site has to depend on advertising.
What if I cannot afford to donate?
Then please do not. Use the site freely and share it with someone planning a Dwarka yatra, or write to us if you find a timing or fare that has changed. Corrections from readers are as valuable to this website as money.

Ways to Help That Cost Nothing

Money is only one kind of support, and often not the most useful one.

Tell Us What Changed
Most Valuable

Aarti timing shifted, ferry schedule revised, fare gone up? A correction from someone who was just there is the most useful thing this site receives.

Share a Page
Takes a Minute

Send a timings or itinerary page to a family group planning a yatra. Most readers arrive because someone passed it on.

Report an Error
Always Welcome

If any distance, fare or timing looks wrong, tell us and we will check and correct it across all three languages.
