Waiting
in the Queue
Immediately
after a pilgrim’s group number is called or displayed,
he/she is ushered in through Gate No.1 into the queue complex.
The queue complex is a long corridor which opens first into
two large waiting halls, one after the other and finally
opens at the mouth of the Holy Cave.
During ordinary days a pilgrim can enter Gate No.1 and
upon crossing the required distance can reach the Sanctum
Sanctorum in no time. But on days of heavy rush, one may
have to wait inside the railings or the waiting room for
some time before the queue ahead gets cleared. The Shrine
Board has installed coloured Television sets all along the
queue corridor. These television sets relay a direct telecast
of the Holy Cave and the Holy Pindies. Pre recorded messages
explaining the procedure of Darshans are also relayed Since
the time available for Darshans inside the Holy Cave is
limited, yatries are advised to carefully watch the television
sets and hear the pre-recorded messages. This will help
them in having proper Darshans inside the Cave. 
In addition to the television sets, large backlit coloured
photos of the Holy Pindies have been installed at various
important locations. These are also meant to familiarize
the pilgrims with the Darshans inside the cave. Provision
of urinals and drinking water has also been made in the
waiting corridors.
