Drafted, corrected, then checked again
A card is drafted from published sources and our own notes. It is then corrected by a practising purohit who performs that rite regularly — not a consultant, someone who does the work.
It is then read by a second purohit from a different tradition. Where the two disagree, the card carries the more widely practised sequence and says explicitly that practice varies.
What the card does not do
It does not claim to be the only correct sequence. Practice varies by region, by sampradaya and by family, and a printed card cannot know yours.
It does not promise an outcome. Nothing on a Sankalp card says a rite performed this way will produce wealth, a child, a marriage or protection. We describe the tradition. What it means is between you and it.
It does not replace a purohit. For the large rites — vivah, upanayana, a full griha pravesh havan — the card is there so you know what is happening, not so you can do without one.
Muhurat and tithi
We print date windows, not muhurats. A muhurat depends on tithi, nakshatra and your location, and two panchangs calculated for cities a few hundred kilometres apart can differ by a day.
Every card says the same thing: confirm against a panchang for your own city.
Questions
Yes, on the card itself. We do not print an unattributed claim that something is verified.
