This year's Shravani Mela on the Deoghar-Sultanganj Kanwariya Path will offer devotees a unique experience. For the first time, live aarti will be organized along the Kanwariya Path, providing pilgrims with a spiritual and enchanting atmosphere. This initiative marks a new chapter in the tradition of Shravani Mela, where millions of devotees visit Baba Baidyanath Dham annually to offer holy water.

A significant feature this year is the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the security arrangements. An AI-based surveillance system will be deployed at various sensitive points along the Kanwariya Path. This system will aid in crowd management, identifying suspicious activities, and ensuring rapid response in emergency situations. AI cameras and sensors will continuously monitor the path, helping to prevent any untoward incidents in a timely manner. This technology will enhance the effectiveness of security personnel and prioritize the safety of pilgrims.

The live aarti aims to create a devotional ambiance, allowing devotees to connect with religious rituals even during their journey, especially those unable to participate in the main temple aartis. The aarti could also be broadcast live on large screens at various locations to maximize its reach.

These new initiatives seek to make the Shravani Mela more accessible, secure, and spiritually enriching. Authorities and organizers are working diligently to ensure that all pilgrims can complete their journey safely and receive the blessings of Baba Baidyanath.
