Ancient Wells Uncovered at Nashik's Godaghat Before Kumbh Mela

• A mysterious structure, later identified as three ancient wells, was discovered under concrete at Godaghat in Nashik's Panchavati region during pre-Kumbh Mela development work.
• Social activist Devang Jani used digital technology and satellite data to reveal the presence of these buried wells, which were previously covered due to years of concreting.
• During excavation at the old vegetable market, continuous water flow indicated an underlying source, confirming the satellite findings.
• The Kumbh Mela Authority, Divisional Commissioner, and Municipal Corporation administration confirmed the wells' existence through remote sensing images.
• The discovery highlights the importance of preserving the Godavari River's natural sources and keeping the river concrete-free, as advocated by Devang Jani.
