During Sharadiya Navratri, the Maa Bagulamukhi temple in Nalkheda will allow all devotees equal access, restrict sanctum entry and aim to complete darshan within half an hour.
The Sharadiya Navratri celebrations this year will be centered at the Maa Bagulamukhi temple in Nalkheda, Madhya Pradesh. Temple authorities have announced a uniform darshan system so that every pilgrim, irrespective of status, will experience the same viewing schedule during the nine‑day festival.
Entry into the sanctum sanctorum has been prohibited for all visitors, and the customary VIP darshan slots have been suspended. Instead, four separate queues will be organized to manage the flow of devotees, ensuring orderly movement and preventing crowding.
Temple officials have set an ambitious target of completing each devotee’s darshan within 30 minutes. The streamlined arrangement is intended to accommodate the large influx of worshippers expected during Navratri while maintaining safety and reverence in the shrine.
