WhatsApp Business API for Dausa's stone carvers, weavers and pilgrim trade
Rajasthan Tourism calls Dausa Deva Nagri and the first headquarters of the Kachhwahas. Today it sits on the road and rail between Jaipur and Agra, and sends carved stone, carpets and pilgrims in every direction.
For the stone workshops behind Dausa district's ODOP entry, the carpet weavers of Bhandarej, the taxis and lodges that serve Mehandipur Balaji pilgrims and the hotels busy for the Abhaneri Festival: what happens to one message on its way from your software to a customer's phone, and what each kind costs.

One Dausa stone yard's dispatch note, down through every layer
A carved consignment leaves a workshop near Sikandra for a site far away. Watch the dispatch note descend from the yard's software to the site manager's phone, and see what each layer checks on the way.
Every template a Dausa business sends takes the same path, whether it is a dispatch note for carved stone, a carpet's shipping notice or a pilgrim's pickup time. Replies to someone who wrote first skip the template layer and go at the service rate.
Only an offer, a festival rate or a new design, is marketing, and it stops at the consent layer for anyone who has not agreed. The 24-hour service window explains when a template is needed.

Dausa in seven lines
From Rajasthan Tourism's Dausa page, Invest India's ODOP list and IBEF's Rajasthan profile; rail and Dulha Rai's dates are general background from Wikipedia.
Rajasthan Tourism says Dausa's name comes from Sanskrit, that it is also called Deva Nagri, that it lies about 55 km from Jaipur, and that it was the first headquarters of the Kachhwaha dynasty.[1]
Dausa was the first capital of the Dhundhar region; Raja Dulha Rai ruled from it for three decades before moving to Khoh in 1028.[4]
Bhandarej, 10 km away, was Bhadrawati in Mahabharata times, has a stepwell and the Bhadrawati Palace, and is known for carpet making.[1]
At Abhaneri, about 33 km from Dausa, the eighth-century Chand Baori stands beside the Harshat Mata temple; Rajasthan Tourism began a two-day Abhaneri Festival there in 2008, with Kachhi Ghori, Kalbeliya, Ghoomar and Bhawai performances.[1]
The Mehandipur Balaji temple, dedicated to Hanuman, is in Mehandipur village in the district; Bandikui, 35 km from Dausa, is known for its Roman-style church.[1]
Dausa's station is on the Delhi–Jaipur line and became a junction with the new line to Gangapur City; Sikandra, about 25 km away towards Agra, is known for its sandstone carving.[4]
Invest India's ODOP list names stone products for Dausa district, and IBEF says Rajasthan contributes significantly to India's dimensional and decorative stones, sandstone among them.[2],[3]
Language
A pilgrim's pickup reminder in Hindi and English
Hindi for nearly every customer in the district and the pilgrims who come from across the north; English for invoices, architects' offices and tour groups.
Rajasthani dialects are not Meta template languages, so templates go in Hindi or English while staff reply in whatever a customer writes. Each language is a separate template under the same name, each approved by Meta before it is sent; InfiQ's own support works in English and Hindi.

What a Dausa business runs on InfiQ
One for each layer of the stack above.
- Developer API and webhooks
A stone yard's order software sends the dispatch note as each lorry is loaded, with idempotency keys so a retry never sends it twice and signed webhooks for delivery.
- Template manager and library
Draft the dispatch note, the carpet's shipping notice and the pilgrim's pickup reminder from the library in Hindi and English, and follow Meta's review.
- Consent records and opt-out enforcement
Every opt-in is recorded with its date and source, so Abhaneri Festival offers reach only past guests who agreed, and STOP is enforced even against later imports.
- Shared team inbox
A taxi desk's or lodge's staff share one number, so a pilgrim's late-night question is answered by whoever is on duty, with notes on each booking.

- Our Bhandarej carpet workshop ships rugs to visitors who chose them on the loom. Can we send the courier details on WhatsApp?
- Yes. A shipping notice for a carpet the visitor bought is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the courier and tracking number as variables. A message showing new designs to past buyers would be marketing at ₹0.94, and only for those who opted in.
- Tour groups ask our hotel near Dausa about the two-day Abhaneri Festival. Can we invite last year's guests once the dates are announced?
