Tirumala News | At Tirupati Temple, AI To Take Over Crowd Control, Darshan Management
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu will inaugurate a new, state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence-Integrated Command Control Centre (ICC) at the Tirumala Tirupati temple. This is a first-of-its-kind initiative in India for a temple of this scale and is poised to revolutionise crowd management and pilgrim services at the sacred hill shrine, it is claimed. The new ICC, established at the Vaikuntham-1 Complex, leverages artificial intelligence to provide real-time data and insights to TTD officials. A massive digital screen at the centre displays a live feed from CCTV cameras across the temple premises, which is monitored by a team of over 25 technical experts. The AI-powered cameras, with facial recognition capabilities, will track the number of pilgrims in queue lines and estimate waiting times for darshan, helping officials manage the flow of devotees more efficiently.
