Everything for a night of pandal hopping

Made for crowded streets, one hand and weak signal.

  • Live crowd map

    Pandals, temples and events on one map, each with its crowd level in colour and words: Low, Moderate or Packed.

  • A stamp for every visit

    Check in at the pandal by GPS or its QR code to collect its stamp. Look out for Heritage, Legendary and Secret stamps.

  • Plan my night

    Say how many hours you have. Parikrama plans a walking route that skips packed places, and Google Maps takes you there.

  • Hop with your circle

    Make a private circle for family and friends. See the stamps they collect, and share live location during a plan only if you choose.

  • Your night in one card

    Get a recap card with your stamps, distance and route to share on WhatsApp or Instagram.

  • Works without signal

    Download your city once. The map works offline, and check-ins are saved and sent when you are back online.

  • Vote for your favourites

    After you visit, vote for best idol, best theme, best lighting and the most eco-friendly pandal.

  • Easy to read

    English or Hindi, large text up to 200% and screen reader labels on every button.

How it works

  1. Open the map

    See what is near you and how crowded it is right now.

  2. Go and check in

    At the pandal, tap Check in, or scan the QR code at the gate.

  3. Collect and share

    The stamp lands in your passport. Share your night with your circle.

See the crowd before you go

Every place shows its crowd level in colour and words. Parikrama never suggests a packed place and points you to one nearby with a shorter wait.

Always follow police and volunteers on the ground. In an emergency, call 112.

  • Moderate
  • Packed

Very crowded right now. Try Buxi Bazaar, 8 min away.

Private by design

Your festival nights are yours. Here is what we promise.

  • Precise check-in coordinates are deleted after 30 days.
  • Live location is off by default and lasts 15 minutes at a time.
  • Traditions are optional, encrypted and never used for ads.
  • Photos are stripped of GPS and camera details.
  • Export or delete your data from Settings at any time.
