The Sacred Chandrabhaga River

The Chandrabhaga River, also known as the Bhima River in Pandharpur, holds immense religious significance. It meanders through the town, forming a crescent shape and is considered sacred by followers of Lord Vitthal, often regarded as the Ganga River. Pilgrims engage in ablution rituals along the river’s banks, adding to the spiritual charm of the place.

Pandharpur is renowned for its numerous temples, with 27 significant ones spread across the town. These temples pay homage to various deities, including Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu. The town also boasts several picturesque ghats along the Chandrabhaga River, such as Mahadwar Ghat, Uddhav Ghat, and Chandrabhaga Ghat, where pilgrims engage in rituals and offer prayers.

Tasked by the local government municipality to clean the waters in preparation for the religious bathing of hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, Smart Ops technology was applied to the banks of a cordoned  part of the river to treat the water.

SABRE technology was installed on floating pontoons to clean a section (200 Million Ltr)  of Chandrabhaga River near Pandharpur ISKON temple along with civil work in time for the Feb 2025 religious bathing ceremony
