HOW WE DECIDE WHAT IS TRUE
Every badge on this page means something specific

Dharma, Pratha or Bhranti — with a confidence score you can check. If we cannot name the text a reader could open, we do not make the claim.

DHARMA
Named in a text you could open yourself.
PRATHA
Regional or family custom. Real — not scripture.
BHRANTI
A misconception. Corrected in every guide it appears in.
