Maha Kumbh Mela As Seen From Space. ISRO Beams Down Images

Prayagraj:

India’s space agency, using Indian satellites, has beamed down images of the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela – the world’s single largest religious gathering – at Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj.

The images by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) show a massive infrastructure made at the fair, where about 40 crore people are expected to visit over the period of 45 days.

Using India’s sophisticated optical satellites and day and night viewing capable radarsat, the National Remote Sensing Center in Hyderabad took a series of images showing the buildup of the massive infrastructure at Maha Kumbh Mela

NDTV’s Science Editor Pallava Bagla accessed these images to show the build-up of the temporary tent city and a huge number of pontoon bridges across the river network.
