Arrive early for security

Leave cameras inside where required
Photography and mobile devices are restricted inside the mandir and some exhibition spaces—use lockers or the vehicle to store electronics.
Hydrate and time your visit
Pick an evening slot in summer to avoid daytime heat and carry a small water bottle for between attractions.
Comfortable walking shoes
Paved paths and temple steps make supportive shoes useful, though you’ll remove them in the mandir.
Modest clothing (covering shoulders/knees)
Respectful attire speeds entry and aligns with temple etiquette.
Government-issued ID
Carry ID for ticketing and any security checks during pickup and entry.
Small daypack
Useful to carry water, a light layer and valuables you cannot bring inside the mandir.
