WhatsApp Business API for Kadiri's temple lodges and groundnut traders
Kadiri was first called Khadripuram, and its temple's legend has Narasimha appearing from the roots of a khadri tree. Pilgrims now ask a lodge about rooms on WhatsApp before they set out; the answer is easy, the festival offer next year is not.

A Kadiri business
- Namaskaram. We are four, coming for darshan at the Narasimha Swamy temple on Saturday. Any rooms?
- Yes, two double rooms are free for Saturday night. Shall we hold them until you confirm?
- Please hold. Also, how far is Thimmamma Marrimanu from you?
- About 25 km. We can book a taxi for Sunday morning; the confirmation will come here on WhatsApp.
For the lodges, taxis and shops that serve pilgrims to Kadiri's Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple and Thimmamma Marrimanu, the town's groundnut traders and silk sellers, and the units on NH42: which replies need no template, which notes do, what consent the 2027 rules ask for, and what each message costs.

From Bellary's edge to the consent rules: Kadiri's dates
Scrub the timeline: three dates that put Kadiri in the district it belongs to today, then the two that decide how a Kadiri lodge, trader or shop may message people now.
A Kadiri lodge's list of past guests has grown over many festivals. It holds people who stayed, not necessarily people who agreed to hear about next year's rooms, and from May 2027 that difference has to be on record.
Room replies and booking confirmations are a separate matter: replies inside the 24-hour service window need no template, and a confirmation for a guest's own stay is a utility template. The India guide sets out the DPDP timeline.

Telugu at the temple, Kannada from over the border
Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and English (India) are all on Meta's list of template languages. A Kadiri lodge writes its booking template in Telugu first and adds Kannada for the pilgrims and buyers who read it.
Inside the 24-hour window after a pilgrim or buyer writes, staff can reply in any language with no template. InfiQ's own support team works in English and Hindi.
| Language | Meta code | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Telugu | te | Pilgrims, growers, shops and drivers across Rayalaseema |
| Kannada | kn | Pilgrims and buyers from Karnataka |

Guides for Kadiri teams
Questions Kadiri businesses ask
- Pilgrims message our lodge near the Khadri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple in waves during the annual festival. Can several staff answer one number?
- Yes. The shared team inbox gives 10 users on Lite and 25 on Growth, with transfers, private notes and labels, so the desk and the owner work the same number. Replies to pilgrims who wrote first need no template and are charged at ₹0.145 each.
- Can a Kadiri lodge tell last year's festival guests that rooms are open again for this year's temple festival?
- Only guests who agreed to receive offers. A message inviting them back promotes, so it is a marketing template at ₹0.94, and WhatsApp's policy requires their opt-in. Record each guest's yes with its date and source; from 13 May 2027 it must also meet the DPDP Act's standard.
- Our Kadiri taxi stand runs pilgrims to Thimmamma Marrimanu for the Shivaratri jatara. Is the pickup confirmation a utility template?
- Yes. A confirmation with the pilgrim's own pickup time, the driver's name and the vehicle number is a utility template at ₹0.19, sent to pilgrims who booked and agreed to updates. If they write back to change the time, your replies for 24 hours are free-form.
- Pilgrims from Karnataka write to our Kadiri lodge in Kannada. Can the booking confirmation go to them in Kannada too?
- Yes. Kannada (kn) is one of Meta's template languages, so the same booking confirmation can be approved once in Telugu and once in Kannada, and each guest gets the version they read. It is a utility template at ₹0.19; replies to their questions before they book are service messages at ₹0.145.
- Our Kadiri shop sells the district's silk sarees. Can we send photos of new arrivals to customers who bought during the temple festival?
- Only to customers who agreed to hear about new arrivals; a purchase is not that agreement. New arrivals are a marketing template at ₹0.94. An alteration-ready note or a parcel dispatch note about a customer's own order is a utility template at ₹0.19.
- A unit at the APIIC industrial estate in Kadiri sends goods to buyers along NH42. Can each buyer get a dispatch note with the invoice?
- Yes, to buyers who agreed to order updates. A dispatch note with the buyer's own order, the lorry number and the invoice as a document header is a utility template at ₹0.19. Buyers abroad are billed at their own country's rate, published in rupees on the pricing page.
