Is there an official Kumbh Mela app?
Usually, yes — but which one, and what it covers, changes with every cycle and host state. Here's how to find the right one.
Why we don't name one app here
Each host state has typically released its own official app for its Kumbh or Magh Mela cycle, usually a few months before the event, and app names have changed between cycles. Rather than list a name that may be outdated by the time you read this, we point you to where the current one is always announced.
What these apps typically offer
Common features across past cycles
Live crowd & route updates
Real-time guidance on which routes and ghats are open, and current crowd density where available.
Lost-and-found & helplines
Direct access to help desks, emergency contacts, and family reunification services.
Accommodation & facility maps
Locations of medical camps, toilets, drinking water points, and registered stay zones.
Where to find the current one
Check our Official Websites page, which links directly to the central and state government portals — the current cycle's official app, if released, is always announced and linked from there. Only install apps linked from an official government domain; avoid unofficial apps claiming to be "the" Kumbh app in app-store searches, as impersonation listings are common around major events.
