How big will the crowd be at Trimbakeshwar?
The Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Kumbh Mela Authority (NTKMA) projects roughly 12 crore devotees.
- Peak single day: About 2.25 crore across both kshetras on a Shahi Snan day.
- Crowd management: Separate entry and exit routes are planned — so temple road access can change on snan days.
The three Amrit Snan days will be heaviest, so arrive a day early.
