[theme-reviewers] Screenshot confirmation

[lakshya kun]

Sir, Please Explain Theme URI


   - Theme URL, if used, is *required* to link to a page specifically
   related to the Theme. If a demonstration site or page is being used, the
   content must be related to the theme itself.
   http://wordpress.org/themes/theme-name is reserved for default themes
   only and no longer accepted.

Is it okay to provide demonstration site as ThemeURL?
