The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has captured stunning satellite images of the Maha Kumbh 2025 site in Prayagraj, offering a detailed aerial view of the massive preparations underway for the world’s largest religious gathering.
The high-resolution images, taken by ISRO’s advanced Earth observation satellites, provide crucial insights into the layout, infrastructure, and planning of the event, which is expected to attract millions of devotees from across the globe. Officials have stated that these images will aid in better crowd management, resource allocation, and security measures for the grand festival.
The Maha Kumbh, which takes place once every 12 years, is a significant spiritual event that witnesses an enormous influx of pilgrims who gather to take a holy dip at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mythical Saraswati rivers. With the use of satellite technology, authorities aim to ensure a smoother and more organized experience for attendees.
The images captured by ISRO showcase the expansive tent city, ongoing construction of ghats, and key infrastructural developments being put in place to accommodate the large number of visitors expected during the festival.
Authorities are leveraging these satellite insights to enhance logistical planning and disaster preparedness, making Maha Kumbh 2025 a safer and more efficient event.
