Ayodhya Ram Mandir

Exploring the significance of AI in Ayodhya Ram Mandir consecration

The inauguration of the Ayodhya Ram Mandir is anticipated to draw many individuals, including saints and high-profile dignitaries. The Uttar Pradesh government is making every effort to ensure the safety and protection of the temple town for the ritual. AI is being utilized to enhance security measures and guarantee the protection of VIPs, pilgrims, and tourists visiting the Ayodhya Ram Mandir.


AI-powered drones and cameras


AI-powered drones are currently employed for aerial monitoring around the city, while AI-based drones specifically designed to detect mines or explosives are being utilized to scan underground areas. An AI firm based in Gurgaon, has revealed its plan to offer real-time security surveillance in Ayodhya using its advanced AI-powered audio and video analytics platform, Jarvis. The cameras are equipped with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) capabilities. By utilizing the government's vehicle registration database, such as e-vahan Parivahan, authorities can detect vehicles that possess counterfeit license plates.


Facial recognition


The authorities at the Mahakal Lok Corridor in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, have implemented face recognition technology (FRT) in conjunction with AI analytics to manage crowds. The implementation of Facial Recognition Technology (FRT) has facilitated the temple management in establishing a separate entrance gate exclusively for the residents of Ujjain, ensuring their expedited admittance into the temple premises. Earlier, Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), the organization responsible for managing the Tirupati temple in Andhra Pradesh, commenced the trial implementation of facial recognition technology. This technology was employed in booking accommodations and facilitating seamless admission for devotees to minimize inconvenience. Read More
