- On arrival at Bhawan, obtain the group number at the Yatra slip check post to get into the queue for Darshans.
- Proceed for Darshans only when the Group number is announced and avoid crowding for Darshans at Gate No.1. Abide by the procedure and wait for the turn of Darshans. Do not attempt to jump the queue.
- Nothing except cash and selected offerings are allowed inside the Holy Cave. All other belongings need to be deposited in the free cloakrooms.
