As Prayagraj gears up to host millions of pilgrims and tourists for Mahakumbh 2025, a grand façade lighting project is set to transform the city’s iconic temples and landmarks. With an approved budget of ₹18.94 crore, the initiative aims to enhance the beauty of sacred sites and historic locations, including the Allahabad Fort and Shastri Bridge, offering visitors a vibrant night-time experience.
The regional tourism officer, Aparajita Singh, shared that extensive preparations are underway to beautify Prayagraj’s roads, intersections, walls, temples, and bridges. This year’s unique lighting plan will create a mesmerising effect by highlighting the architectural details of each site with carefully selected lighting techniques. The project employs a range of lighting solutions, such as spotlights, floodlights, recessed downlights, track lights, linear lights, landscape spotlights, and panel lights, all designed to accentuate the grandeur of these revered landmarks.
The illuminated temples and historic structures promise a stunning visual experience, contributing to Prayagraj’s appeal as a night tourism destination and extending the spiritual atmosphere of Mahakumbh well beyond daylight hours.
The plan not only enhances the beauty of these locations but also enriches the cultural experience for devotees and tourists alike, leaving an indelible impression on all who visit.
This year’s Mahakumbh, set against the backdrop of Prayagraj’s sacred architecture bathed in vibrant light, will offer an unparalleled attraction, welcoming visitors from across the globe to witness the city’s historical and spiritual legacy in a new light.
