Of this amount, ₹73 crore is allocated for 10 Akhadas, while approximately ₹30 crore is earmarked for around 100 Ashrams.

Saints Seek Early Start to Construction
Saints and Mahants have urged the authorities to begin the planned works by the end of September 2026. Their demand is aimed at ensuring sufficient time for construction and completion before the large influx of pilgrims and religious groups during the Kumbh.
Starting the work early would also allow authorities to address any construction-related issues before the main Kumbh period.
Construction Window Ahead of Kumbh
The available construction period is considered important for completing the planned infrastructure. According to the report, work carried out from October 2026 to May 2027 would provide a crucial window for completing the development projects before the Kumbh.
