"Time series images (15 Sep. 2023 and 29 Dec 2024) of EOS-04 (RISAT-1A) 'C' band microwave satellite, with its all-weather capability and fine resolution (FRS-1, 2.25m), provides unique insights on details of the Tent City (Layout of Structures and Roads) along with its network of pontoon bridges and supporting infrastructure, set up for the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025," ISRO said in a statement.
The time series images captured by the satellites show the construction of Shivalay Park, the India-shaped park in Prayagraj, spread across 12 acres of land and is designed to be a major attraction for the festival. The images taken on three separate dates capture the construction of the landmark.
On the National Remote Sensing Centre website, time series images of the Triveni Sangam were also shared, showing the difference via images captured in Sept. 2023 and on Dec. 29, 2024.
Three time series images also captured the Prayagraj Sangam and the zoomed section of the River Ganges showing temporary pontoon bridges.
Several time series images of the Parade Grounds also showed the transformation the location went through as the city geared up to welcome millions of worshippers and host one of the largest congregations on Earth.
