Khatu Shyam Mela: New Zigzag Route, No VIP Darshan for Lakhhi Fair Devotees

• The Phalguni Lakhhi Fair at Khatu Shyam Ji begins on February 21, expecting over 3 million devotees over eight days.
• A new zigzag darshan route at Charan Maidan on Lamiyan Road has been introduced to manage crowds and facilitate easier darshan.
• Preparations, including inspection of parking areas (52 Bigha, Sanwalpura, Sitarampura) and traffic diversion plans, are underway.
• All VIP darshan, except for those with government protocol, will be completely closed to ensure equitable access for common devotees.
• QR codes will be used on major approach roads to provide devotees with real-time information on routes and parking locations.

Why It Matters: Khatu Shyam Mela implements a zigzag darshan system and bans VIP darshan for smoother devotee experience.
