Traffic Congestion Analysis and Solution During Nashik Kumbh Mela

The Nashik Kumbh Mela is a very big religious festival where millions of people come to Nashik for holy bathing in the Godavari River. During this time, the city becomes overcrowded and heavy traffic problems are seen everywhere. Roads get blocked, vehicles move very slowly, parking space becomes insufficient, and even ambulances face difficulty.This project studies why traffic congestion happens during Kumbh Mela and what solutions can reduce this problem. The study includes traffic survey, parking study, and observation of vehicle and pedestrian movement. The study suggests solutions like one-way traffic system, temporary parking areas outside the city, shuttle buses, separate walking paths for pilgrims, and use of smart traffic systems. Proper planning and technology can help in managing traffic smoothly during future Kumbh Melas.
