Profile Creation and Management
Users can create a personalized profile by uploading a photo and sharing details about themselves—such as their background, interests, hobbies, concept of spirituality, and core values. The profile is designed to capture the individuality of each person and provide context for meaningful engagement. Profiles can be edited at any time, allowing users to refine their self-presentation as they continue their journey at Kumbh.



People Discovery
The application is equipped with an intelligent discovery algorithm that suggests potential connections based on user preferences, shared interests, and other contextual signals. This helps users discover people who align with their intent, whether it’s spiritual discussion, cultural exchange, or simply companionship during the event.



People Matching
Once two users mutually express interest, they can connect and exchange contact information through the app. This feature is designed to be simple yet secure, allowing conversations to continue beyond the digital space and into the real-world setting of Kumbh Mela.



Multi-Language Support
Since Kumbh attracts millions of people from across India—many of whom speak different languages—we’ve built multi-language support directly into the application. This ensures accessibility for everyone, regardless of their linguistic background, and stays true to the inclusive spirit of Kumbh. By embracing linguistic diversity, the app fosters richer interactions and creates a more welcoming environment for all users.
