Due to its immense popularity, the temple's car parking facilities are often full, leading to parking shortage in the immediate vicinity of the temple.[1] To avoid parking hassles, local travel guides advise parking cars at the foot of Naubat Pahad[2] near the Assembly and reach Birla Mandir on foot over a 2-minute walk.
