365Telugu.com online news, India, January 24th,2025:The Maha Kumbh 2025, the world’s largest spiritual gathering, has already attracted over 9 crore devotees and is set to draw more than 45 crore participants by the event’s conclusion on February 26.
To enhance this profound spiritual journey, Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), a global leader in lighting, has illuminated key landmarks and spaces at the Maha Kumbh with cutting-edge and sustainable lighting solutions.
This monumental project includes the lighting of the sacred Viman Mandapam, the iconic Shastri Bridge, and the installation of solar lights across the mela grounds.
At the heart of the Kumbh Mela, the sacred Viman Mandapam has been turned into a stunning visual masterpiece through advanced façade lighting. Signify employed Philips Uni dynamic color-changing linear grazers and floodlights to create a layered, volumetric lighting effect that highlights the architectural beauty of the structure.
Despite challenges such as working at heights, navigating intricate carvings, and preserving the structure’s integrity, the lighting installation succeeded in creating a dynamic, immersive experience for the millions of devotees visiting the site.
The Shastri Bridge, a key link connecting Prayagraj to Varanasi, has been brilliantly lit with Philips Uni RGBW dynamic lighting. The innovative design highlights both the horizontal deck and vertical columns, achieving a harmonious balance.
With DMX-controlled fixtures enabling multiple lighting themes, the bridge now stands as a vibrant symbol of unity and devotion, transforming the cityscape and enhancing the spiritual ambiance of the Kumbh.
Taking a leap toward sustainability, Signify introduced solar hybrid lighting on a grand scale at the Maha Kumbh. SunStay Hybrid solar lights, boasting 175 lm/w efficiency, were deployed across the mela grounds.
These lights ensure reliable illumination throughout the night, even during foggy conditions, thanks to their hybrid design and robust construction. This initiative underscores the adoption of renewable energy for large-scale events, showcasing how sustainable solutions can meet the demands of massive gatherings while minimizing environmental impact.
Girish K. Chawla, Head of Professional Business, Signify Greater India, expressed pride in the company’s contributions, stating, “Our work at the Maha Kumbh 2025 aligns with our #BrighterLivesBetterWorld vision.
This remarkable event, organized by the Uttar Pradesh government, Prayagraj Mela Administration, UPSTDC, UPPCL, and UP Tourism, exemplifies how innovative, sustainable solutions can enhance experiences while promoting environmental stewardship.
We’re honored to contribute to this once-in-a-lifetime celestial event, demonstrating the transformative power of light.”
The Maha Kumbh Mela, organized under the celestial configurations occurring every 144 years, holds immense spiritual significance. Signify’s lighting installations have already garnered widespread appreciation from attendees, ensuring safer and more visually captivating paths for devotees.
As the event progresses, the company anticipates further positive feedback, underscoring its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and community impact.
With its groundbreaking initiatives at the Maha Kumbh, Signify has set a benchmark for sustainable lighting, illuminating one of India’s most iconic events while paving the way for a brighter, greener future.
