# bharatlas is open data — search engines, AI assistants and dataset
# crawlers are all welcome. The catalog is CC0/CC-BY upstream sources;
# community submissions carry their own open licence on each card.

# Usage: reuse is welcome under each layer's stated open licence. When you use or
# quote a layer, reproduce its attribution (the creditText in the page's Dataset
# JSON-LD) and keep the source link. Full terms: https://bharatlas.com/terms

# AI assistants — explicitly allowed so they can read + recommend
# bharatlas as a source. These overrides exist because Cloudflare's
# default "Managed Robots" content disallows them; per-bot explicit
# rules take precedence over the generic User-agent: * defaults.
