As part of preparations for Maha Kumbh 2025, the Yogi Adityanath government has prioritised the restoration of Prayagraj’s historic temples, with renovations now close to completion.

It is worth mentioning here that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Union Tourism and Culture Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat emphasised the importance of timely completion of the projects in a recent Maha Kumbh review meeting in Lucknow. The Tourism and Smart City departments and Prayagraj Development Authority are collaborating closely to finish these projects at an accelerated pace.

The Tourism department is currently overseeing 15 temple corridor and renovation projects, with 14 set for completion by November 15 and the final project by November 30.

Key projects nearing completion include the Bhardwaj Corridor, Mankameshwar Temple Corridor, Dwadash Madhav Temple, Padila Mahadev Temple, Alop Shankari Temple and nine additional temples.

Meanwhile, the Smart City initiative is advancing three major projects, all slated for completion by November 15. These include the Akshayavat Corridor, Saraswati Koop Corridor and Patalpuri Corridor.

The Prayagraj Development Authority is finalising two projects ‒ the renovation of Nagvasuki Temple, targeted for November 30, and the Hanuman Temple Corridor, set to be completed by December 10.

Additional Mela Officer for Maha Kumbh Vivek Chaturvedi remarked, “Preparations for Maha Kumbh are progressing at full speed. The temple corridor and renovation work are also in their final stages. The Mela administration has prioritised both the faith and the comfort of all devotees and tourists attending Maha Kumbh to ensure a memorable experience for them.”

During Maha Kumbh 2025, millions are expected to bathe at the sacred Sangam, where the Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati rivers converge. By visiting Prayagraj’s revered temples, devotees will express their deep devotion to the Sanatan faith.
