The Simhastha Mahakumbh 2028 Centralized Portal is designed as a one-stop digital solution for one of the world’s largest religious gatherings, set to take place in Ujjain. With millions of pilgrims and tourists expected, seamless access to reliable, real-time information is critical.
This portal is envisioned as the official go-to platform for all attendees, offering live crowd updates, Lost & Found, official government circulars, temple and mela details, spiritual live-streams, and comprehensive information about Madhya Pradesh’s historic and religious sites.
What makes this unique is its blend of cultural depth with smart digital utility—not just displaying information, but actively solving challenges faced in mass gatherings. The aim is to empower devotees, administrators, and volunteers with a safe, informed, and spiritually enriching experience.
Large-scale gatherings like the Simhastha present challenges such as:
- Information gaps: Pilgrims often rely on scattered or outdated sources for schedules, temple timings, or circulars.
- Overcrowding: Lack of real-time data on crowd density can lead to congestion and safety risks.
- Lost belongings & missing persons: A frequent, stressful issue in massive gatherings.
- No unified digital hub: Currently, attendees lack a centralized platform combining spiritual, cultural, and logistical support.
The portal addresses these pain points through an integrated digital ecosystem:
- Centralized Hub: All official updates, temple details, and tourism information consolidated in one place.
- Live Crowd Density Map: Real-time insights into crowd levels at ghats, temples, and mela sites to help visitors plan safely.
- Digital Lost & Found: Easy reporting and retrieval process to reunite people and belongings.
- Live Darshan: Virtual access to rituals for the elderly, differently-abled, or those avoiding heavy crowds.
- Tourism Expansion: Extending beyond Ujjain to highlight Madhya Pradesh’s historic monuments and pilgrimage circuits.
This not only enhances safety and convenience but also transforms the pilgrimage into a connected, accessible, and inclusive experience.
