“A Digital Portal for Managing the Pilgrim Experience at Khatu Shyam Ji Mela”
Context & Background
The Khatu Mela digital initiative was developed around information access, permissions and management visibility for a large pilgrimage event.
The annual Khatu Shyam Ji Mela brings together a very large number of devotees and requires coordination across pilgrimage information, movement, permissions, facilities, safety, communication and administration.
The digital opportunity was to create a central information and management layer for the mela ecosystem.
Key Challenges
1A large pilgrimage event creates simultaneous requirements for devotees, event administration, officials, participating entities, volunteers and service providers.
2The challenge was to move from fragmented information and manual coordination towards a connected digital operating environment.
Work Executed
