Khumbh mela 2027

Ask Nashik πŸ€”β”

Hi everyone!

I've been working on a personal project called Kumbh Sarathi for Kumbh Mela Nashik 2027. I'd love to get some honest feedback.

While planning for the Kumbh, I realized that regular map apps are great for navigation but don't answer many of the questions pilgrims actually have during the event.

For example:

* Where exactly will the Shahi Snan take place?

* Which ghat am I currently at?

* Where's the nearest medical camp, drinking water point, toilet, help desk, or Lost & Found centre?

* Which temples or places can I visit nearby during the Kumbh?

This kind of Kumbh-specific, on-ground information usually isn't available in one place.

As someone from Nashik, I wanted to solve this problem myself, so I built Kumbh Sarathi a personal project to help pilgrims navigate Kumbh Mela more easily.

It's an AI-powered chatbot + interactive map focused specifically on Kumbh Mela.

**Current features:**

* πŸ“ Find ghats, temples, and important Kumbh locations

* πŸš‘ Medical camps, drinking water points, toilets, parking, help desks & Lost & Found centres

* πŸ“… Shahi Snan / Amrit Snan dates

* πŸ›• Nearby attractions around Nashik

* πŸ’¬ Ask questions naturally in English, Hindi, or Marathi and get answers with map guidance

**Coming soon:**

* Live crowd density

* Real-time Akhada locations and procession tracking

* Official Kumbh updates as they're announced

Note: This is still in beta. Official Kumbh layouts haven't been released yet, so some map locations are placeholders and the chatbot may occasionally make mistakes.

If you have a couple of minutes, I'd really appreciate it if you could try it and share your thoughts.

I'd especially love to hear from anyone who has attended a Kumbh beforeβ€”what information did you wish you had while you were there?
