FAQs

What is the policy function of ‘excluding karaṭagarbhiṇikā’?

It marks a known problematic subtype as non-standard, enabling officials to reject it or price it lower without case-by-case argument.

Why mix shape and color descriptors?

Because appraisal in practice relies on observable field features; the text encodes those into a shared administrative vocabulary.
