Local directory
Real places, verified quietly.
Each place gets its own record — address, hours, links, quick facts — kept usable and current without noise.
A directory · a library
Places worth knowing. References worth keeping.
Two shelves in one catalogue — verified places and verified references, connected by a single search and kept quietly current.
Why it exists
Two surfaces that work together.
We keep two catalogues going in parallel — a directory of places and a library of references — because the questions people ask usually cross between them.

Reference library
References built to be re-read.
Reports, guides and primary sources organised so you can preview, download and cite them without hunting for a copy.
How they connect
One search, two surfaces.
A place cites a reference. A reference names a place. Search moves between them and both surfaces stay in view.
Fields we cover
Structured for discovery.
Each section keeps its own tempo. Directory records lean informational; reference materials lean archival; field notes lean editorial.

Mahestaan grows because people like you send in the record. Submit a place worth knowing, or drop a reference worth keeping — we handle the rest.
