Hi Naveen,
all state protected monuments in India are already on the wiki, it is a matter of running the updates on the toolserver etc before they come in the database. However, none of those have any geo-coordinates. I have added however (manually) a lot of geo coordinates for the delhi monuments, which I found on the local delhi ASI website. So you should be able to use the tool soon in Delhi.

Yes .. district will be more useful and scalable. Next year we can add state govt protected monuments too.
I am trying to get the list from different states govt websites.

Hi,
'IN-UT' is the ISO 3166-2:IN code for the state. It should indeed be possible to automatically convert those.
The circles are probably more tricky. Before I revamped the tables into the current shape, we needed that to create the unique identifier. Probably it is best to just ignore the circles for the sake of this app - because it will only lead to confusion since some states have them, and some don't. And one of the circles is even names after a city in a different state... Mentioning the district is probably more helpful.
Best, Lodewijk

Thanks Jon. It is working :-)
- I see a state called "IN-UT"
- And inside Tamil Nadu .. Instead of Chennai and Thrissur circle it is
C and T
Can you fix this issues ?
Thanks, naveenpf

Hi Naveen This should be solved in the next application update (hopefully later today)
Thanks Jon that will really helpful.
I disagree with your statement that the app will not be useful - it has a 'find nearby monuments;' feature which should help India Wiki Loves Monumenteers to find monuments on their doorstep so there is no need for them to even use the list!
