Question 2

What is the IATA code for Gaya Airport and which pin code does it fall under?

Accepted Answer

Gaya Airport's IATA code is GAY. It falls under India Post pin code 824234? — no, the airport's postal pin code is 823004 (Gaya Airport Sub Post Office). The airport operates seasonal international Buddhist-circuit flights from carriers such as Thai Airways, Druk Air and Myanmar National Airlines, primarily between October and March, in addition to domestic connections.

Question 3

How does the directory verify a travel agency before listing it as 'Verified'?

Accepted Answer

An agency is marked 'Verified' only after its credentials are cross-referenced against three sources: (1) a valid trade licence from the Gaya Municipal Corporation, (2) empanelment or recognition from the Bihar State Tourism Development Corporation (BSTDC) or the Department of Tourism, Government of Bihar, and (3) an active Google Business Profile with a verifiable address inside the listed pin code. Agencies that have not submitted documentation are labelled 'Unverified Local Provider' — never 'Verified'.

Question 4

How is the Trust Score on each agency card calculated?

Accepted Answer

The Trust Score is computed as an automated objective ranking: 0.35 × Google Business Profile rating (normalised to 100), plus 0.25 × years in business (capped at 20 years = 100), plus 0.20 × verification level (Elite = 100, Verified = 80, Unverified = 40), plus 0.20 × review authenticity heuristic (0–100). The composite score is shown as a number out of 100. The formula is identical for every listing, so ranking order is objective and not paid-for.

Question 5

What is Pind Daan and where is it performed in Gaya?

Accepted Answer

Pind Daan is the Hindu Shraddha rite in which offerings (pind) are made for the salvation of ancestors. In Gaya it is performed along the Falgu River and at the Vishnupad Temple (pin code 823001), concluding at the Akshayavat — the undecaying banyan inside the Vishnupad complex.

WhatsApp-enabled numbers display a WhatsApp badge. The directory does not list personal or unattributed numbers.

Question 10

When is the best time to visit Gaya and Bodhgaya for pilgrimage?

Accepted Answer

The primary pilgrimage season runs from October to March, when the weather is cooler and seasonal international flights operate into Gaya Airport (GAY). Pitripaksha Mela — the annual fortnight when Hindus converge on Gaya for Pind Daan — typically falls in September–October per the Hindu lunar calendar. Bodhgaya's peak Buddhist pilgrimage season is November–February. Pre-booking verified cabs 48 hours in advance is strongly recommended during both windows.
