In just 2 days, over 55,000 pilgrims have visited the revered shrine of Baba Kedarnath, with the number rising steadily each day.

Digital token for Baba Kedarnath’s darshan: How it works

Pilgrims receive digital tokens for their darshan, regulating the flow and preventing bottlenecks. These tokens contain specific time slots, allowing devotees to plan their visit to the temple and avoid prolonged periods of waiting in queues. The tokens are distributed at designated counters, and information about token availability and time slots is also being disseminated through digital displays and public address systems.

Benefits

Reduced waiting times: Pilgrims can avoid long queues and spend more time experiencing the spiritual ambiance of the shrine.

Access to real-time updates and information: Digital systems provide pilgrims with updates on darshan timings, weather conditions, and other essential information.

Enhanced safety and comfort: By regulating the flow of pilgrims, the token system helps to prevent overcrowding and ensures a safer environment.

In previous years, the pilgrimage was often chaotic. But this year, a digital token system ensures a more organised and peaceful experience. To streamline crowd management, a token system for darshan has been introduced for the first time this year, ensuring that every pilgrim can have a smooth and orderly experience. This system aims to address the challenges of managing such a large influx of pilgrims, preventing overcrowding, and ensuring the safety and comfort of all visitors.
