The district officials in Nirmal plan to use AI- technology for organising the mega religious event Godavari Pushkaralu.
AI would be used to control the huge flow of devotees and ensure their safety and security for the Pushkaralu, mainly in taking a holy dip at Basar, on June 27, 2027. Crowd control by the police would be guided by AI.
“This technology would be used for the safety of the devotees and also to count the number of devotees visiting the temple, monitor their movements at the pushkara ghats, and to avoid stampede-like incidents,” officials said on Friday.
The state government has begun the works related to the pushkaralu a year in advance and earmarked as high as `1000 crore for this prestigious event. The government is making special arrangements at 12 places, including Basar temple along the Godavari river in the state.
District collector Bhavesh Mishra said they are preparing an action plan involving all the allied departments to provide facilities for the devotees, niumbering around three lakh, at Basar temple and a few other pushkara ghats and scenes for holy dip in Godavari waters during the pushkaralu.
