What the Government is Doing
AI-Powered Crowd Management 2027
The Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Kumbh Mela Authority (NTKMA) is implementing the most technologically advanced crowd management system in the event's history. For the first time, AI/ML-based crowd monitoring systems will track real-time crowd density at all major ghats, predict congestion 15–20 minutes in advance, and issue automated alerts to police control rooms.

Boxer Stance in Dense Crowds
CriticalIf you feel trapped in a dense crowd, raise both arms in front of your chest like a boxer. This protects your lungs and ribs from crowd pressure and ensures breathing space.

Move WITH the Crowd Flow
CriticalNever try to push against a moving crowd. If you lose your direction, move sideways gradually toward the edge. Fighting the crowd flow has caused tragedies at past events.

Identify Police Posts on Arrival
ImportantThe moment you arrive at any ghat or temple, identify the nearest police post, medical station, and emergency exit. Do this before anything else.

Set a Meeting Point for Your Group
ImportantAgree on a specific meeting point (e.g., a temple gate, police post, or landmark) before entering crowded areas. Phones often lose signal on peak days.

Avoid 8 AM – 12 PM on Snan Days
TipShahi Snan processions and the maximum crowd converge between 8 AM and 12 PM. Visit before 6 AM or after 3 PM for a safer, more manageable crowd experience.

Separate Lanes for Elderly & Disabled
TipAuthorities set up special lanes for senior citizens, disabled pilgrims, and women with children. Look for signs with 'Divyang Marg' or ask any volunteer.
