Maha Kumbh 2025: Uttar Pradesh is gearing up to host one of the grandest festivals in the country, the ‘Maha Kumbh,’ scheduled to take place in 2025. The event is set to commence on January 13, 2025, and will continue until February 26, 2025, in the sacred city of Prayagraj. Known for its rich spiritual and cultural significance, the Maha Kumbh attracts millions of devotees from across India and the world. This tradition, deeply rooted in history, sees lakhs of pilgrims gathering to take a holy dip in the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers, seeking spiritual cleansing and blessings.
However, the massive crowds often bring challenges, particularly the distressing issue of people getting separated from their families amidst the sea of devotees. To address this recurring concern, the administration has devised a novel solution for Maha Kumbh 2025. According to media reports, cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technology will be deployed to monitor and track the movements of attendees throughout the festival.

A total of 10 such centers have been set up across the Maha Kumbh premises to ensure comprehensive coverage and timely assistance.
