Preparations are also being made for the Mahakumbh-2025’s website, mobile app and social media management.
During the last Kumbh Mela in 2019, the fair authority engaged the agency through the QCBS system, by issuing a tender for website design and development, in order to provide better facilities to devotees, Kalpavasis, and tourists visiting the fair, in which approximately Rs 2.27 crore was funded from the Kumbh Mela budget.
The pre-developed website has been re-launched and upgraded for Mahakumbh 2025 (the source code of the website developed in Kumbh Mela 2019 is available in Prayagraj Mela Authority), while a mobile app and social media management will be implemented later.
