The TRINETRA AI-based video surveillance system has been deployed around which temple?
- A.Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Varanasi
- B.Mahakaleshwar Temple, Ujjain
- C.Somnath Temple, Gujarat
- D.Jagannath Temple, Puri
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Mahakaleshwar Temple, Ujjain. TRINETRA was built for the Mahakal Rudrasagar Integrated Development Area in Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh, which includes the Mahakaleshwar Temple, and it was implemented with Ujjain Smart City Limited and the Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple Management Committee. The system runs more than 450 AI-enabled cameras with video analytics, facial recognition and predictive crowd monitoring through an Integrated Command and Control Centre, and it won a Gold Award at the National Awards for e-Governance 2026. Option A is wrong because the Kashi Vishwanath Temple at Varanasi was not the site named for this project. Option C is wrong because Somnath in Gujarat had no role in it. Option D is wrong because the Jagannath Temple at Puri was not covered either; the only other shrine mentioned was the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine Board, whose surveillance model TRINETRA adapted and scaled up for the heavier pilgrim footfall at Ujjain.
