New tracking portal for foreign visitors - Share for all your family and friends in Foreign countries... :)

Foreigners checking into hotels or staying with locals during Kumbh will have to inform the city police about their arrival. The district administration has trained hoteliers to submit the information about foreigners through online portal named Immigration, Visa and Foreigners Registration & Tracking ( IVFRT).

"Foreigners visiting the city during Kumbh Mela will have to register with the city police in the respective areas through the hotels. They will have to fill form C through the online process to inform about their stay," said district informatics officer Rajesh Salve.

He said a foreign national will be able to file an online application for a visa or extend his stay through the application. The software will help to keep track of the foreigner at ports, airports, embassies and Foreigner Regional Registration Offices (FRROs). Only the police will have access to the portal to gather information.


"The foreign national will have to apply on www.indianfrro.gov.in to fill the application. It would be mandatory for the hotels to give the information about the foreigner on the portal and submit it to the police. Training and workshops have been conducted among hoteliers in this regard," Salve said.

The information would be directly monitored by the city and rural police. The online system, which was launched lat year, would be used for the first time in Kumbh Mela. "Such a system did not exist during last Kumbh. Police and administration had to rely on manual methods. However, the online system would help to track the foreigners in a better and accurate manner," he said.

Salve said 44 hotels from all categories have registered with the police.

Nashik police ropes in local organisations to act as translators for Kumbh Mela

Pilgrims from across the country are likely to pour into Nashik for the Kumbh Mela and many of them will not be well versed with Marathi or even Hindi. Pre-empting issues with communication, the Nashik city police has roped in local organisations proficient in different state languages to help during the mega event.

Representatives of regional organisations in the city well versed in languages such as Malayalam, Oriya, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati, Marwari, Punjabi among others were invited for a meeting few days ago. Authorities sought their assistance to guide people who will come from different states.

About 50 individuals from 12 different organisations attended the meeting convened by police commissioner S Jagannathan at the police commissionerate.

The police made a presentation on the routes, assistance centres, police stations, core area, parking spaces, ghats that will be open for bathing and other aspects.

“We have sought seek help from these organisations so that they can assist people on different routes. Volunteers at police stations will help with the translations, in case we have to find missing persons or help the pilgrims who are in trouble,” stated Jagannathan.

The police also expects these organisations to disseminate information about the routes to the ghats, parking areas, road barricading, and emergency services to the people in advance.

Responding to the call made by the city police, the organisations expressed their willingness to provide their assistance during the mega event. Most of these organisations have already planned to provide shelter and distribute food to those coming from their respective states.

Temple trust to take Kumbh infrastructure on rent

The Trimbakeshwar temple trust has invited tenders from private agencies asking them to provide infrastructure on rent during the forthcoming Kumbh Mela. The infrastructure includes mandaps, sound system and LED walls among other things.

The temple trust will take water and fire proof mandaps having length of 250ft, width of 150ft and height of 15ft on rent for six months. Besides, tenders have also been invited for procuring lights and fans, generator, sound system, 500 barricades and two LED walls on rental basis.

Kailas Ghule, a trustee, said, "Like every Kumbh Mela, we will be providing facilities such as water and fire proof mandap, a public relations counter, a health counter, food counter, a 24x7 ambulance, LED screens for live darshan, cameras in various locations, fabricated barricading, etc. Last time, we had bamboo barricades which were not that effective. We will also keep the way to the hospital at the backside of the temple free for the patients."

He said besides the mandaps, six small stalls of 1,000ft and 4-5 speakers will also be made available.

"The rent of the mandap would be around Rs 10 lakh. We are thinking of buying the generator. But considering the cost, we are trying to get it through some corporate social activity or with some concession. The sound system with 4-5 speakers could cost us Rs 1 lakh for four months, while that of the barricades would be Rs 120 per sq ft per day. The LED walls could cost us Rs 10-12 lakh per month," Ghule said.

"We will provide these facilities for four months. We are planning to rope in a sponsor for every day to save the cost. Their advertisements will be shown on the LED screens. For providing health facilities, we are talking to Apollo and Jaslok hospitals. Red Swastik has agreed to provide four teams," he added.

Meanwhile, the works proposed by the temple trust as part of the Rs 9-crore development plan for Kumbh Mela is yet to get green signal. The trust had submitted an action plan to the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) for infrastructure works last year.

Nashik and Trimbakeshwar have a special importance on the spiritural map of lndia.

Ancient scriptures, especially the purans are replete with legends emphasing the significance of this city, situated on the banks of river Godavari and neighbouring Trimbakeshwar - which is 29 kms. from Nashik, enshrining one of the 12 Jyotirlingas, near the ugam on the source of River Godavari.

Shahi Snan in Kumbhmela
The Kumbhmela is held at Nashik when the jupiter on the Guru enters the Zodiac sign of Leo. lt is thus speicific condition that led to the name sinhastha. It is considered special amongst those held at Allahabad (Prayag), Haridwar and Ujjain every 12 years.

Important legend associated with Kumbhmela pertain is the indifference between the Mahants and Sadhus over to majestic holydip i.e. the Shahi Snan on the days of Parvani. The legends says that Vaishnavas and Shaivas had dispute over this issue in 177O's. as who would take the holy dip first. When the news reached the Peshwa Sadashivrao, the ruled that vaishnavas would take the shahi snan at Nashik - Ramkund and shaivas would have their shahi snan at Trimbakeshwar - the Kushavarta teertha.

This speicific tradition is followed till the date of six parvani days three each would be held at Ramkunda Nashik and Kushvarta - Trimbakeshwar. There are only four places in lndia where Sinhastha Kumbha Mela is held : Haridwar, Prayag, Uiiain and Nashik on the banks of Godavari.

Drops of nectar(Amrit)churned out of Ocean (Kshirsagar) inadvertantly fell at these places when the Sun and the Jupiter were in the Leo constellation, the holy skanda Puran states that all Gods headed by Lord lndra, the group of Maruts and Rudras and Adtyas come to Gautami Godavari for holy bath on this occasion

Nashik has a special sanctity since the Godavari blessed by the stay of Prabhu Ramchandra, the bestower of worldly happiness and other worldly bless, flows south at Nashik.The Brambhand Puran also avers that Nashik, Prayag, Pushkar, Gaya and Naimsh are the only five holy sanctifying places and no sixth exists in the world.

Since immemorial times Nashik-Panchavati is famous for sinhastha Kumbha Mela, since here alone the Godavari flows in south direction. When the Jupiter enters the leo. Religious people, Sadhus and Mahantas from all over lndia flock to Nashik for a holy dip in the sacred River.

Belief holds that:
At the Kumbh Yog, the water of Sangam (Ganga, Yamuna and hidden Sarasvati) is charged with positive healing effects by electromagnetic radiations of the Sun, Moon, and the Jupiter. According to the planetary system changes occur due to the positioning and phases of the moon and by the positive and negative signs of the sun spots. Interestingly it has been predicted that Saturn (Shani) who makes or breaks the fate of people is governing for 19 years (for Mahadasha and completes the cycle of Rashis in 30 years), and will spread Sahaja Yoga, the Age of Truth in the whole world and Kalki (Mercury) Power as belonging to Goddess Shiva commencing during Kumbha Yog will astrologically manifest in its climax on As always a powerful vortex is experienced at Prayag because of the planetary system.
