All delegates attending the Namami Niranjana Abhiyan 2027 conference are asked to:

• Complete registration in advance and carry confirmation and valid ID at the venue
• Arrive at the registration desk at least 1 hour before the inaugural session
• Wear delegate badges at all times within the venue

2. Code of Conduct

This is a multi-national, multi-faith gathering. All participants are expected to treat fellow delegates, monks, government representatives, and local community members with respect and courtesy. Any form of harassment, discrimination, or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated and may result in removal from the event.

3. Religious & Cultural Etiquette

• Maintain quiet and respectful conduct during prayer and river aarti sessions
• Ask permission before photographing monks or religious ceremonies

4. Media & Press Guidelines

Accredited media are welcome to cover the conference. Press wishing to attend should contact the organising committee in advance for accreditation. Filming inside monastery halls may be restricted during active prayer sessions — please check with on-site coordinators.

5. Health & Safety

[Placeholder — add specific emergency contact numbers, first-aid point locations, and any health advisories once venue arrangements are finalised.] In case of emergency at the venue, please alert the nearest volunteer or organising committee member immediately.
