Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: June 2026
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some links on velankannishrine.in - particularly hotel booking links - are affiliate links. This means that if you click one of these links and make a purchase or booking, we earn a small commission from the booking platform. You pay exactly the same price whether you book through our link or go directly - our commission comes from the platform's margin, not from you.
Which Links Are Affiliate Links?
We work with three affiliate networks. A booking or travel link on this site may be monetised through any one of them:
- Travelpayouts - for Booking.com, Agoda, Hotellook, flights, and our hotel and flight search forms (affiliate marker 430308).
- EarnKaro - for selected Indian travel platforms such as MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, Cleartrip, TripAdvisor, hotel chains, and airlines.
- Cuelinks - a service that may automatically turn an outbound link to a supported merchant (for example MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, redBus, Amazon) into an affiliate link when you click it.
Most hand-placed affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the HTML. The hotel and flight search forms and the booking buttons on listing pages contain affiliate links. Some ordinary outbound links may also be converted automatically by Cuelinks as described above.
Our Editorial Independence
Affiliate relationships do not influence which hotels or places we recommend. We do not rank hotels higher because they pay better commissions. Our listings are ordered by pilgrim-relevant criteria: distance from the basilica, verified reviews, pilgrimScore, and editorial quality.
We include booking links from multiple platforms so you can compare prices. We always recommend you check current prices directly, as they vary by date and availability - especially during the Annual Feast season.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
velankannishrine.in is a free resource for pilgrims. We do not charge for access to any guide. Affiliate commissions help cover the cost of running the site, maintaining hotel listings, and adding new content - without putting up paywalls or running intrusive ads.
