The tent city, located in Sector 20 (Arail) of the Mahakumbh Mela area, will boast over 2,000 Swiss cottage-style tents, each equipped with modern amenities and five-star hotel-like facilities. The project is a collaborative effort between the Uttar Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation Limited (UPSTDC) and six key partners.

The tent city will be operational from January 1 to March 5, 2025, offering a comfortable and convenient stay for pilgrims. Bookings can be made through the UPSTDC website or the Mahakumbh app.
To ensure a comfortable stay, the tent city will feature spacious and well-equipped tents. Villa Tents will span 900 square feet, Super Deluxe Tents will range from 480 to 580 square feet, and Deluxe Blocks will cover 250 to 400 square feet. These tents will be equipped with modern amenities such as air conditioning, double beds, mattresses, sofa sets, customized interiors, writing desks, electric geysers, fire extinguishers, quilts, blankets, mosquito nets, WiFi, dining areas, and common sitting spaces, all with scenic views of the riverbank.
The tent package will also include information on yoga, cultural events, and significant religious and historical sites in Prayagraj and surrounding areas. This initiative aims to provide pilgrims with a holistic and enriching experience during their visit to the Mahakumbh 2025.
