Maha Kumbh from space: Before-after images of Pragayagraj capture massive infra buildup

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday released before and after satellite images of the Mahakumbh Nagar in Prayagraj, giving an insight into the grandeur of the ongoing Maha Kumbh, which is drawing millions of people from all over India and across the world to take a holy dip at the Sangam.

The images showcase the extensive infrastructure and provide unique insights on details of the tent city, layout of structures and roads along with the network of pontoon bridges constructed at the Sangam in view of the Maha Kumbh.

The images were captured by EOS-04 (RISAT-1A) ‘C’ band microwave satellite with its all-weather capability and fine resolution (FRS-1, 2.25m).
