ABSTRACT: In recent years, pilgrim destinations across India have witnessed overwhelming crowd influxes, especially during festivals and auspicious days. This often results in long queues, safety risks, and an unsatisfactory experience for devotees. To address this issue, we propose an intelligent Online Ticket Booking and Bidding System enhanced with Machine Learning to optimize crowd management, minimize waiting times, and ensure a seamless pilgrimage experience.
The system allows pilgrims to book time slots for darshan through a user-friendly web or mobile application. In addition to regular bookings, a bidding mechanism is introduced for high-demand slots, enabling pilgrims to bid for priority access. Machine learning models are integrated to predict crowd density, demand surges, and optimize time slot allocation, using historical visit data and calendar patterns.
The platform ensures fairness, transparency, and efficiency through secure identity verification, real-time updates, and fraud prevention mechanisms. By leveraging ML algorithms such as time series forecasting, anomaly detection, and clustering, the system dynamically adjusts ticket availability and bid recommendations. This not only improves crowd distribution but also enhances safety and convenience for temple authorities and pilgrims alike.
This project demonstrates how digital transformation and AI can be effectively used in spiritual and public settings to create a smarter and more inclusive pilgrimage experience.
