Listing your event on Godesi is free 🎟️

A temple committee, a garba organiser, a college association, a promoter bringing an artist over — one tap and they have everything on this page. Listing is free for them too.

What it costs

There is no listing fee on any plan. The only Godesi charge is a service fee on tickets you actually sell, and a paid plan removes it.

How it works, step by step

1. Step 1

   Post the event

   Title, description, date and start time, the town's own time zone, and whether it is in person, online or hybrid. Two minutes, no card, no approval queue for members in good standing.

2. Step 2

   Pick your categories

   Choose one of 34 event types (mela, garba night, concert, puja, workshop, job fair, expo, fundraiser…), then a directory category and subcategory so the event also shows on that category's page. Paid plans add extra categories.

3. Step 3

   Pick the venue

   Start typing the banquet hall, temple or hotel and pick it from the venues other organisers already used — the address, city, state, map link and hall names fill in themselves. Online events paste a joining link instead.

4. Step 4

   Add your tickets — or keep it free

   Set a price and how many seats, or add named tiers (Early bird, VIP, Family of four) with their own price and capacity. Free entry? Leave the price at 0 and there is nothing to pay us, ever.

5. Step 5

   Add photos and video

   A banner image, one YouTube or Vimeo link that plays on the page, and a public Google Photos album from last year's event shown as a 3×3 gallery that opens the full album.

6. Step 6

   It publishes itself

   The event goes live on Godesi events, on its category page, in the events RSS feed, with an add-to-calendar file for attendees — and on GoDesi.wiki, free.

Why post on Godesi

Categories, filters and how people find you

• Event type (34 of them) — mela, parade, concert, DJ night, garba, comedy, theatre, film screening, puja and satsang, food tasting, conference, workshop, class, meetup, job fair, expo, sports, health camp, kids & family, fundraiser, award night, wedding-related, picnic and more. This is what drives the type filter on /events.
• Directory category and subcategory — pick, say, Events & Wedding → DJ & sound, or Religious & Cultural → Temples, and your event also appears on that category's page in front of people browsing the trade. Browse event categories →
• Extra categories — Free lists under one, Pro adds two more, Premium five, for events that genuinely belong in several places (a wedding expo is also a fashion show and a trade show).
• 18 facilities and ticketing tags — free parking, wheelchair access, indoor or outdoor, free or paid food, alcohol, vegetarian options, security, family friendly, 18+, vendor booths, sponsorship slots, stall booking, online tickets, on-spot tickets, VIP passes. Attendees filter on these, so every tick is another way to be found.
• Language, city, state and free tags — the language the programme is in, the town it is in, and your own tags (Navratri, Tamil, live dhol) for the search box.

Picking the venue

• Type the first few letters of the banquet hall, temple, gurdwara, hotel or community centre and pick it from the list of venues other organisers have already used. The address, city, state, country, map link and hall names fill in for you — so the same hall is never spelt three different ways.
• A new venue? Type its name and address once and it joins the list for everyone, with a Google Maps link attendees can tap for directions.
• Big venue? Name the hall or room (Grand Ballroom, Hall B) so guests do not wander.
• Online or hybrid events swap the address for a joining link, shown to ticket holders.
• Times are stored with the town's own time zone, so “7:30 pm EST” reads correctly to someone in Edison and someone in Delhi. Attendees get an add-to-calendar file with the right moment in it.
• Every venue also gets its own page — browse venues — listing everything happening there.

Photos, video and your Google Photos album

Upload the clips to YouTube (public or unlisted, Shorts are fine) and share the album from Google Photos — we store only the links, so your pages stay fast and you keep control of the files. Your business card on Godesi can carry more videos and album photos on a paid plan; an event page shows one clip and one album.

Attendees put it in their calendar — so they turn up

Half the people who mean to come forget on the day. Every Godesi event page carries an Add to calendar row — Google Calendar, Outlook.com, and an .ics file for Apple Calendar and Outlook desktop — so one tap puts your event in the phone that wakes them up. Their own calendar then sends the reminder the night before and an hour ahead; nothing for you to chase.

• The saved entry carries the title, the start and end time in the right time zone, and the venue address — so their phone can even tell them when to leave.
• Ticket buyers also get the QR ticket by email, which keeps the event and the directions in their inbox.
• Recurring classes, weekly satsangs and monthly meetups keep their calendar link too, so regulars re-add the next date in one tap.

Put your event on your own website — we give you the code

Every event page has a “Put this on your website” box with a ready-made snippet. Paste it into your own site, your WordPress page, your temple's site or your society newsletter page and visitors see the poster, the date, the venue and a live seat count — and book without leaving your page. Light and dark versions, and a copy button so you never type it.

• It costs nothing and there is no limit — put it on as many pages as you like, and on a friend's or a sponsor's site too.
• Update the date, price or venue on Godesi once and every embed updates itself — no re-editing your website.
• Prefer a link? Every event also has share buttons for WhatsApp, Facebook and X, an RSS feed of your city's events, and a QR code you can print on a poster.

Where your event gets published

Wherever it travels, the card links back to your event page on Godesi, so the tickets, the venue and the enquiries all stay in one place. We publish only what you put on the event — no private number, email or address goes out unless you typed it in as public contact detail.

Want more than a listing? Ways to stand out

• Free featuring with a standee — put one Godesi standee at your entrance, send us the photo, and your event is pinned to the top of Godesi events at no charge, banner artwork included. How the standee offer works →

• Coupons and reward points — issue a discount code with its own percentage and a limit on how many times it can be used, and advertise a bonus for buyers (free thali, gift bag, lucky draw) next to the ticket box.
• A Pro or Premium plan — removes our ticket fee, adds the featured badge, extra categories and higher ranking in search. Compare plans →

Questions organisers ask

Is there really no listing fee?

None. Post one event or fifty. We earn from ticket service fees on the free plan, from plans, and from advertising.

Do you take a cut of stalls or sponsorships?

No. Vendors and sponsors who find you through Godesi deal with you directly and we take nothing.

Can I sell tickets somewhere else and still list here?

Yes — put your own ticket link in the website field and we send people to it. No ticket sold on Godesi, no fee.

How do attendees get in?

Every booking emails a QR ticket with its own code. At the gate, open the code (or point a phone camera at the QR) and the ticket page shows the buyer, the tier and whether it is valid. Your event page keeps a live count of seats sold and left.

When do I get paid, and who handles refunds?

On Free and Pro we collect the money and send it after the event, minus the processor's charge. On Premium the money lands in your own Stripe account as tickets sell. Refunds are yours to decide.

Is it a recurring class or a weekly satsang?

Mark it recurring and describe the pattern (every Sunday, first Saturday) — it stays on the board instead of expiring after one date.
