Helpful Pilgrim Tips
- Peak Season Crowds: On Mondays (Somwar), Shravan Month, and Mahashivratri, expect heavier highway traffic. We recommend starting early in the morning.
- Sansthan Parking: Safe parking space is available for devotee vehicles and pilgrimage tour buses at the Sansthan campus.
- Senior Devotees: If traveling with senior citizens, taxis can drop passengers directly near the Bhakta Niwas gate.
