How this geometry works
Each month's score starts from Mahanandi's curated crowd baseline (40/100), scaled by its travel season (Oct-Feb), then amplified by holiday pressure from the states its visitors come from: national holidays in full, a state holiday by the share of those states that get the day off (Diwali 2026's Monday is off in Haryana and Uttar Pradesh but not in Delhi). School breaks in the same states add family demand, and a mela or festival at or near Mahanandi adds its own crowd, from organisers' announced dates. Off-season months score lower but can mean closed roads or rough weather; check the season notes above before booking.
