AI-powered lost and found centre for Kumbh devotees 

Maha Kumbh, which began on January 13, will continue until February 26…reports Asian Lite News

In view of the massive influx of pilgrims attending Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, the administration has established an AI-based computerized lost and found centre. 

Sharing details about the centre, Additional Mela Adhikari Vivek Chaturvedi said, “An AI-based lost and found centre has been set up. Arrangements are made there for accommodation, clothes and food for the people who are lost… There has not been a single case in which we have not been able to reunite children or lost people with their relatives. We have received a good response from the computerised lost and found centre… If there is a case in which we have not been able to reunite a person with his relatives, then the administration takes them to their home at its own expense.” 

The statement noted that the Mahakumbh, organised under the leadership of the Yogi government, has drawn global attention this year. Their accommodations have been arranged at the Tent City in Arail, an initiative by the Uttar Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation. 

Maha Kumbh, which began on January 13, will continue until February 26. The next key bathing dates include January 29 (Mauni Amavasya – Second Shahi Snan), February 3 (Basant Panchami – Third Shahi Snan), February 12 (Maghi Purnima), and February 26 (Maha Shivaratri).  

Meanwhile, Ayodhya is witnessing large presence of devotees, many of whom are coming to the holy city after taking a dip at Sangam in Prayagraj during the Maha Kumbh. The devotees take a dip at Saryu Ghat and pay their obeisance at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple, Hanuman Garhi, Kanak Bhawan and other temples. 

Authorities have stepped up their efforts to ease stay of pilgrims with proper traffic management and parking facilities. 

Amid the devotional fervour, the city’s warm hospitality has left a lasting impression on the visitors. 

Ayodhya SP Madhuvan Singh said that devotees are arriving in large numbers, taking a holy dip at Saryu Ghat and going to Nageshwar Nath Temple, Hanuman Garhi, and Janambhoomi. 

“Adequate security measures and parking arrangements are in place. Traffic diversions have been implemented ensuring devotees face no inconvenience during their visit,” he said. 

Speaking to ANI, Madhuban Singh, Superintendent Police (SP) of Ayodhya said,” Visitors are arriving in large numbers, taking a holy dip at Saryu Ghat before proceeding to Nageshwar Nath Temple, Hanuman Garhi, and Janmabhoomi. Adequate security measures and parking arrangements are in place. To manage the heavy crowd, traffic diversions have been implemented, ensuring devotees face no inconvenience during their visit.” 

Devotees expressed satisfaction with the arrangements. “Many devotees are visiting Ayodhya after Kumbh. The arrangements for food, water, and accommodation are excellent. We started queuing at 4 am and had darshan at Ram Janmabhoomi temple and Hanuman Garhi. It was a memorable experience,” said Anamika, a devotee. 

Saloni, also a devotee, lauded the arrangements. “All facilities are well-managed, and Ayodhya looks vibrant with the devotees,” she said. 

A devotee from Delhi said they came to Ayodhya after taking dip during Maha Kumbh. 

“The arrangements at Ram Janmabhoomi are very good. The police and administration have ensured a hassle-free experience for all devotees,” she said. 

Vinod Mittal, who travelled with his family, lauded the arrangements made by the Uttar Pradesh government. 

“After Kumbh, we came to Ayodhya to have darshan at Ram Temple. The arrangements made by the Yogi Adityanath government are outstanding. If such management continues, India will become more popular for religious tourism,” he added. (ANI)
