The problem
Nashik is one of India's largest pilgrimage cities. Every twelve years it hosts Kumbh, one of the largest gatherings on earth.
Most visitors arrive without a reliable local guide. Tourism apps built for big metros skip cities like Nashik, so pilgrims and travellers find their way by word of mouth.
The temples, ghats and small places worth knowing sit in lanes that a map app shows as grey lines. Locals know them because someone once told them. Visitors have no one to ask.
What we built
Three screens carry most of a visit. Each one answers a problem a visitor to Nashik has.
Discover
The problem
A visitor arriving in Nashik needs temple timings, transport and basic essentials. These usually sit across several apps and word of mouth.
What we built
One screen holds places, the map, categories and essentials. An SOS control stays fixed in the header.
Plan a yatra
The problem
Planning a multi-stop yatra by hand means guessing the travel time between temples, and which detours are worth taking.
What we built
The planner takes destination, dates, group size and interests. It builds a day-wise route with time estimates for each stop, then hands off to Google Maps.
Your language
The problem
A pilgrim who reads Marathi, Tamil or Bengali should be able to use a travel app in that language.
What we built
Language sits in the main settings list, outside any onboarding step. 23+ Indian languages are available.
Invite your group with a 6-digit code. Live locations update every 10 metres, so no one gets separated in a crowd.
An AI companion that answers questions about the city in your own language, from the best time to visit Trimbakeshwar to the nearest dharamshala.
English, Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Malayalam, Assamese, Odia, Punjabi, Urdu, Sanskrit, Nepali, Konkani and more.

How we approached it
At every Kumbh, someone in the crowd stands still, phone in hand, lost. We started by talking to pilgrims at the ghats, shopkeepers and lifelong residents.
We stopped trying to list everything and curated instead. The audience is deliberate: pilgrims with a few free hours, and travellers here for Kumbh or a weekend.
Places are vetted by Nashik locals, with temple timings, rituals and routes planned for pilgrims.
Trinetra is live as a first version. We are still adding places and still talking to people.
“A short, honest list beats an exhaustive one nobody trusts.”
After launch
What we saw
Early users wanted more places to choose from.
What we changed
We keep adding places, each one checked by people from Nashik.
Outcomes
Trinetra launched as a locally built guide to Nashik's temples, ghats and hidden corners.

“It replaces multiple apps — maps, translators, and bus schedules — with one dedicated tool.”
“Live location sharing, 23+ languages support, and easy route suggestions make it very convenient. The UI is simple, and it feels focused on real pilgrim needs, not extra bloat.”
