The grandest of the worship cities

And a hundred times bigger just find the workers somewhere. The kingdom wasn't too keen on supplying the citizens as workers. They tended to get angsty learn ideas about rights and wages and overworking, somehow getting them involved in large projects backfired on every occasion it had been tried. No, the workers would have to be imported...from...somewhere.

The size of the project was a concern too, nothing of the scale had been attempted by the whole of humanity. A thousand temples in a massive complex, the largest of the temples was to reach four hundred feed and accommodate seven thousand devotees. Three rivers would be diverted and made to flow through the complex as seventeen different trajectories, one for each deity associated with each province.

There would be rest stops and places for accommodation needed, this would be larger than any of those great festivals they organized in the South, greater than anything humanity could comprehend. Large statues of gods, taller than most of the buildings housing smaller versions of themselves, would guide devotees to the correct regions. The area would have its own police, several battalions of cooks and food preparers, dishwashers and cleaners. Crowd control would have to be considered in the design...they didn't want a return of the Vishnu Mela incident, there had been a scare, and....there had been deaths. That could have been avoided, had the security been trained on what to do.

At its busiest, it would be able to house ten million devotees for twenty days. The water supply would last that long. Food would be brought in every day, this would be connected to seven different highways. Rail lines criss-crossing barely seen, moving underneath the temples and barely-concealed tunnels. There would be separate lanes above ground for bikes and electric bikes. Horses would be de-prioritized...they had caused enough issues already, the increase in cleanliness cost was not worth accommodating them.

And cable cars. Sky vehicles, they would be called. From the central temple they would go into seventeen different directions, each one connecting to three separate on the outside. The system would be insignificant to the total occupancy, this was meant for the important and the wealthy to appreciate what had been done for them.

Besides electric buses, the major means of transport would be silent boats on the dammed rivers. Up and down in two hours, a day pass guaranteed you unlimited rides. They were adorned with flags and insignia of various minor deities and their consorts.
