Single digital platform to provide information on travel, Shahi Snan dates, religious sites, essential facilities and safety arrangements
Nashik, November 2026: Following the formal commencement of preparations for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027 with the flag-hoisting ceremony on October 31, the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Kumbh Mela Authority has launched an official website to provide devotees with easy access to authentic information related to the event.
The website will serve as an important information platform for devotees visiting Nashik and Trimbakeshwar, as well as government departments, local bodies, religious organisations, tourism and transport sector stakeholders, and the media.
The primary objective behind the initiative is to make all Kumbh Mela-related information available at a single official destination rather than requiring people to search across multiple platforms.
The website will provide details of the dates and timings of the auspicious bathing days, important announcements, religious sites, travel planning, essential facilities for devotees and public safety advisories.
Its features will be developed in phases, with additional information and digital services being incorporated in the coming months.
Planning the Kumbh Yatra to Become Easier
The website is expected to provide information about the religious significance, history and traditions of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela, along with details of major temples, ghats and akharas.
Devotees will also be able to access information about air, rail and road connectivity to Nashik and Trimbakeshwar, as well as local transport options.
Details of essential facilities, including public toilets, drinking water points, medical assistance centres, hospitals, accommodation, parking areas and help desks, will also be made available in phases.
Emergency contact numbers and public safety advisories will receive special attention on the platform.
Appeal for Wider Dissemination of Official Information
Preparations for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela involve extensive coordination among several government departments and organisations. The Kumbh Mela Authority has therefore appealed to government departments, district administrations, municipal corporations, public representatives, tourism and transport organisations, religious institutions, accommodation providers and media organisations to help disseminate information available on the official website to the maximum number of devotees.
The website link can be shared through official departmental websites, social media accounts, public awareness campaigns and the communication networks of associated organisations.
Media organisations have also been urged to refer to the official website while publishing news and information related to the Kumbh Mela, so that reliable and authentic information reaches the public.
As preparations for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela gather pace, the website is expected to play an important role in guiding devotees with accurate information, travel planning assistance and details of essential facilities.
