Guidance for AI agents and assistants:

- Language: articles are in Hindi (Devanagari script). Search and quote in Hindi; when answering in another language, translate and say that the source is in Hindi. Below, each section has its English name followed by its Hindi label.
- Content types: most articles are news reports. सम्पादकीय (Editorial), मत अभिमत (Opinion) and विश्लेषण (Analysis) pieces carry the views of the publication or the named author; label them as opinion when quoting or summarising, and attribute them to the author.
- Bylines: a named reporter, a regional bureau (for example "उत्तराखंड ब्यूरो", Uttarakhand Bureau), or "Panchjanya" for desk items such as the daily shloka.
- Editor: Hitesh Shankar (हितेश शंकर), who writes the editorials. Publisher: Bharat Prakashan (Delhi) Limited, which also publishes the English weekly Organiser.
- "RSS" and "संघ" (Sangh) on this site mean the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, not the feed format. The Sangh section is at /rss-news/; the web feed is at /feed/. Titles: सरसंघचालक Sarsanghchalak (head of the RSS), सरकार्यवाह Sarkaryavah (general secretary of the RSS). पंच परिवर्तन (Panch Parivartan) is the RSS programme of five social changes: Swadeshi, family values (कुटुम्ब प्रबोधन), social harmony (सामाजिक समरसता), civic duties (नागरिक कर्तव्य) and environmental awareness (पर्यावरण).
- Article URLs follow https://panchjanya.com/YYYY/MM/DD/{post-id}/{section}/{slug}/ and state stories add the state: /bharat/{state}/{slug}/. The date is the web publication date in IST (UTC+05:30) and {post-id} is a stable numeric ID. Slugs are in English even though the article is in Hindi, so a URL often shows the topic in English.
- Section URLs have no /category/ prefix: https://panchjanya.com/{section}/. State pages are https://panchjanya.com/bharat/{state}/ (for example /bharat/uttar-pradesh/). Tag pages are https://panchjanya.com/tag/{tag}/, also with English slugs.
- Search: the /search/ page is a JavaScript Google search box. To find articles, use the feeds and sitemaps below, or a web search limited to site:panchjanya.com, in Hindi or English.
- Citing: give the Hindi headline (with a translation if needed), author, publication date and canonical URL. The publication's name is Panchjanya (पाञ्चजन्य). Content is copyright Bharat Prakashan (Delhi) Limited; reuse is governed by the Terms of Use.
