This is a unique opportunity to devise innovative, actionable solutions for managing one of India's largest mega spiritual gatherings, the Simhastha Kumbh Mela in Ujjain, expected to draw up to 300 million pilgrims. 

The Challenge:

Develop crowd management and mobility strategies for one of two critical high-stress zones in Ujjain:

AREA 1: Ram Ghat – The ultimate destination for the holy dip, where pedestrian densities will peak.

AREA 2: Transit Nodes – Ujjain Railway Station – The primary gateway handling massive inflows and dispersal of pilgrims.
