In order to provide the devotees with shelter and drinking water, the Ayodhya Municipal Corporation has made preparations. Devotees will get respite from the chilly weather at the shelter locations established by the Ayodhya Nagar Nigam.

The local government’s efforts will guarantee that devotees, particularly those traveling to Ayodhya following Kumbh, don’t encounter any difficulties.

Following their enjoyment of the Kumbh, the devotees were anticipated to go to Ayodhya to get a view of the Saryu River and Ram Lala, according to Ayodhya Mayor Girish Pati Tripathi.

In accordance with legendary beliefs about Maha Kumbh, bathers in Prayag often attempt to go to Saryu in order to wash there and get a sight of Ram Lala. It is anticipated that a large number of believers would go to Ayodhya. In any case, we serve around a lakh devotees every day. To ensure the devotees’ safety, we are working to set them a shelter. To ensure that visitors have a seamless experience after visiting Prayagraj, the municipal corporation is also setting up bonfires, restrooms, and clean drinking water at a number of locations, according to Tripathi.

Before the ‘Maha Kumbh Mela,’ which is set to take place from January 13 to February 26, 2025, the Peshwai procession of Awadh has arrived in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. At the Kumbh Mela, sadhus and other members of an akhara or sect, arrive with a ceremonial procession known as the Peshwai.

It is seen as a demonstration of the akharas’ might and is a big custom that occurs before to the Kumbh Mela.
In order to maintain crowd control, the Uttar Pradesh government had already prepared special security preparations for the devotees, sending out mounted police with horses.

To help with crowd control, the ‘desi’ Indian breed of horses, as well as the American Balm Blood and English Thro breeds, are being sent to Prayagraj. Since the mounted police would be efficient in controlling crowds and circumstances during the Kumbh, this is being done for the convenience of the pilgrims.

Inspector Kumbh Mela mounted police Prem Babu told ANI that these horses go through a rigorous six-month training program before being used in congested areas.
Before being used in congested areas like melas and traffic control, these horses must complete a demanding six-month training program. Foreign-bred horses are (sharp-minded) and have lengthy vision. Additionally, it aids in the rider’s area surveillance,” Babu said.

In order to keep pilgrims safe and disciplined during the Maha Kumbh, mounted police will be essential for patrolling and crowd management. For the occasion, specially trained mounted police will be used.
