What is in the dataset
One row per venue that has a public page on panigrahana.com. Columns: venue, region, city, area, country, type, venue_type_norm and star_tier (the free-text type folded into a controlled vocabulary so a region-by-type median is possible), capacity_min, capacity_max, rooms, price_reference (the exact string shown on the venue page), per_plate_min_inr, per_plate_max_inr, per_plate_veg_inr and per_plate_nonveg_inr (INR per-head food rates only: ranges, single rates and veg/non-veg splits all parse; rentals, buyouts, lakh/crore figures and foreign-currency references never do and are never converted), evidence_tier, price_currency, price_scope, provenance_status, venue_rental_reference, price_basis, source_url, verified_on and page_url. Dates and sources are inherited record fields, not a new verification by this export.
evidence_tier is computed, never hand-set. studio-confirmed means Panigrahana has booked at that rate (6 of 1062 venues). listing-reference means the number comes from the venue's own public listing on the date shown and has not been re-verified by us (463). studio-estimate means it is our planning band and not a venue quote (322). The remaining 271 carry no price at all. Read the aggregate cut of this data in the South India Wedding Cost Index, and the other reports at Panigrahana Wedding Data.

What couples contracted: the Q4 2026 actuals
The registry holds what venues list. The South India Wedding Cost Index, Q4 2026 actuals edition holds what couples agreed with us and what they were quoted, from Panigrahana's own booking, costing and quote records to 24 October 2026: 58 cells by city, guest band, season and decor line, each with its sample size, window and basis. Contract values cover our planning, design and production scope, not the whole wedding.

Methodology
The export preserves existing venue records and their source fields. It does not reverify rates or infer a booking or written quotation when that evidence is absent. The original price string remains available alongside its currency and scope. Only an explicit INR per-plate or per-person range contributes to the catering summary; property buyouts, venue rentals, package totals and foreign-currency figures do not. A listing URL can describe the venue without verifying every number in its row. Confirm current pricing, inclusions and taxes in a written quote for the event date.
The registry is regenerated from the site's venue database. Source-record corrections, parsing improvements and removal of duplicate venue aliases can change the export; changes do not by themselves establish a fresh price verification. To request a correction, write to info@panigrahana.com with the venue name and the corrected figure and its source.
