Hello everyone,

I have been adding and fixing temples in Surat, Gujarat. Many temples and community halls are missing on the map, or have wrong or incomplete details. I want to make them easier to find.

What I did

Added new temples in [Surat] Fixed wrong temple names Added names in Hindi and Gujarati so people can search in their own language Added community halls used for religious ceremonies

Tags I used

amenity=place_of_worship religion=hindu building=temple name=* name:hi=* name:gu=*

Where I need help

Some places are only open during festivals, like Navratri garba grounds and pandals. I don’t know the best way to tag them.

My questions

How should I tag temporary festival venues? Are there other mappers in Gujarat I can work with?

Disclosure: I work with Pandits Near Me a service that helps people find and book pandits for pujas. I am mapping these places to make local information more accurate.

Thank you for reading. Any feedback or advice is welcome!
