The wheelchair service is available right next to the Lost & Found Department, located in front of the Someshwar Mahadev Temple, making it easily accessible. To further assist devotees, Amazon has also deployed a free volunteer force, with Amaze Solution playing a key role in its execution.

During the launch, key members of the Amazon team, including Arun Sharma, Veeru, Tapan, and Amaze Solution’s founder, Ritesh Sharan Srivastava, were present along with their full team.

This initiative is proving to be extremely helpful for visitors at Maha Kumbh, enabling them to move freely and participate in rituals, bathing, and darshan without any hassle. Amazon’s effort is commendable, contributing to better crowd management and an enhanced experience for devotees.

Additionally, at Maha Kumbh 2025, Amazon has set up ‘Suv‍idha Kiosks’, providing essential services such as first aid, mobile charging stations, and drinking water.
