Corrections made

Factual corrections to the record, newest first, with the date and what changed.

  1. 10 Nov 2026 Year explorer (home page): at 1011 CE and other years the list of ruling dynasties showed only the longest-lived few and left out the Imperial Cholas among others. It now shows every dynasty whose recorded dates include the year.
  2. 10 Nov 2026 Coins exhibition: said to be in order of date but was sorted by a single representative year. It is now ordered by the first year of each date range (Yaudheya coins now come before Kushana and Satavahana coins).
  3. 10 Nov 2026 Shivrai hon and 21 other evidence records: information about where an object was struck, carved, written or built was shown under “Found”. It is now shown under its own heading; “Found” holds findspots only.
  4. 10 Nov 2026 Chola coins: the photograph was captioned a gold coin. The auction record for that specimen describes it as silver (a kahavanu of 4.30 g). Caption corrected; source: Classical Numismatic Group, sale 69, lot 1982.
  5. 10 Nov 2026 Timeline and year displays: a year “0” was shown. There is no year zero between 1 BCE and 1 CE; one event stored as year 0 was corrected and the display fixed.
  6. 1 Nov 2026 Chandogya Upanishad 8.1.6 and 8.8.4: the source text had lost a negative (अननुविद्य), which reversed the teaching. Restored to the standard reading.
  7. 1 Nov 2026 Valmiki Ramayana, Aranya Kanda, sarga 16: the Wikisource page carried the text of sarga 14. Replaced with the correct sarga 16.
  8. 1 Nov 2026 Ramcharitmanas: modern Hindi commentary that had entered the verse text (Ayodhya Kanda 44, 51, 277; Bala Kanda 288) removed; the damaged Lanka Kanda 106 restored after a full proofread against other editions.
  9. 1 Nov 2026 Rigveda: sukta headers (rishi, devata, metre) corrected where the source repeated the next sukta’s header (1.20, 1.39, 1.99, 7.65, 7.81).
  10. 1 Nov 2026 Places: Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib was listed twice; the two records were merged and the old address forwards.
  11. 1 Nov 2026 Mahabharata: Udyoga Parva adhyaya 116 and Shanti Parva 25ब, missing from the source edition, added. Brahma Sutra 4.4.15: missing first letter restored.
  12. 30 Oct 2026 Mahabharata: editor’s commentary notes that had entered 8 verses of the Bhishma and Shalya Parvas removed.
