Special parking zones have been arranged to manage the influx of visitors. Those arriving in four-wheelers from the Nampally side should use parking facilities at Gruha Kalpa, Gagan Vihar, or Chandra Vihar. VIP pass holders from the M.J. Market side must enter via Ajanta Gate and proceed to the designated VIP area. Two-wheelers from M.J.
