Official Festival Policies

Chitrapataka 2026, organised by the Maharashtra Film, Stage & Cultural Development Corporation Limited (MFSCDCL), is committed to safeguarding personal data submitted by festival delegates, filmmakers, and visitors.

We collect only essential details (full name, email address, mobile number, and institutional affiliation) solely for badge issuance, entry authentication, and emergency festival communications. We do not sell, license, or share delegate data with third-party commercial marketing entities.

Cookies used on this website are strictly limited to remembering your preferred language (English or Marathi), accessibility settings, and session authentication.

All delegates and attendees agree to conduct themselves with mutual respect. Photography or audio/video recording inside screening halls is strictly prohibited under Indian Copyright Law and will lead to badge confiscation.

Auditorium seating for general delegates is on a first-come, first-seated basis. Entry is closed once screening begins to avoid disturbance to audiences.

This website has been built to conform to the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards.

Features include keyboard navigation support, high contrast mode toggle, scalable typography, screen reader friendly landmark tags, and bilingual Unicode fonts for both English and Marathi without text clipping.

Registration cancellations requested in writing to tickets@chitrapataka.in before 10th November 2026 are eligible for a 75% refund after standard payment gateway deduction.

No refunds are applicable for cancellations submitted after 10th November 2026. Passes are non-transferable once printed or activated at the venue counter.
