I do not have a camera. Can I still take part?
For online participation, every participant must be seen and heard. Please join from a phone, tablet or laptop with a working front camera and microphone. Most smartphones work well.
My camera or microphone is blocked. What do I do?
On iPhone, use Safari and tap "Allow" when asked; if you tapped "Don't Allow", open Settings, Safari, Camera and Microphone, and choose Allow. On Android or a computer, tap the lock icon next to the website address and turn on Camera and Microphone. Then use "Check camera & mic" again.
Can my family chant together on one phone?
No. For the record, each person must register and join on their own device so they can be counted. Add family members from your profile, then each person signs in on their own phone or laptop.
Are there practice sessions?
Yes. Practice sessions are held on weekends at 5:30 PM IST, the same time as the main event. The next one is shown at the top of every page. Joining a practice is the best way to make sure everything works on the day.
Will my details be safe?
Yes. We collect only what is needed for the event. Recordings are kept private and used only for participation verification. See our Privacy Policy.
