Client:  Shri Tuljabhavani Temple

Solution Developed By: Shaurya Technosoft

The Shri Tuljabhavani Temple, a revered place of worship in India, was facing challenges in managing the large influx of devotees and the complexity of visitor registrations. With the increasing number of visitors, managing darshan schedules, VIP quotas, and ensuring smooth entry became a logistical challenge. Shaurya Technosoft was approached to provide a solution that would streamline the process, enhance visitor experience, and reduce administrative burden. Thus, the e-Pass system was developed.

Challenges

1. Inefficient Visitor Management:
   The temple struggled with managing large crowds, manual booking systems, and ensuring accurate darshan schedules for all visitors.
2. VIP and Special Quota Management:
   The need to handle VIP visits and manage specific quotas for certain groups was a time-consuming and complex task.
3. Administrative Overload:
   Temple administrators faced difficulties with handling registrations, approval processes, and manual tracking of visitor data.
4. Entry Verification Issues:
   The lack of a secure, efficient method to verify visitors at the temple gates created room for mismanagement and errors.

Solution: The e-Pass

Shaurya Technosoft developed the e-Pass system, an integrated platform accessible via both web and mobile applications, designed to address the temple's challenges and provide a seamless experience for both visitors and administrators. The system was made available in English and Marathi for user convenience.
