This initiative has been taken by the shrine board with a view to maximise the use of available technology and digitisation for the larger facilitation of devotees.

The mobile app would provide worshippers across the globe an individual experience of godliness and bliss. For now, the app has been launched on Google Play Store only and will later be available on iOS platform as well.

Speaking on the occasion, Sinha said live darshan, aarti and online yatra registration will be available on the app, besides other facilities provided by the shrine board.

Referring to the recently launched home delivery of pooja prasad by the board, Sinha said it has been widely appreciated by the devotees. He also stressed that during the prevailing Covid situation, the adoption of online services need to be promoted in a big way to maintain social distancing and other preventive measures to control the spread of pandemic.

The facility of booking of various services like battery operated vehicles, helicopter services, accommodation, online havan, etc. will also be made available on the app shortly.
