Securing Belongings During 6 to 10 Hour Queues

Temple darshan queues can require hours of waiting. Before locking your room door at Nandakam Rest House, ensure all gold jewelry, cash, and essential documents are secured in locked luggage or the room locker.

What to Do After 11:00 AM Checkout

If your allotment concludes while you are scheduled for an afternoon seva or evening darshan, guests can utilize the secure luggage holding facility at the rest house or central cloakrooms near the bus depot.

Handling Electronics and Mobile Phones

Remember that mobile phones, smartwatches, and cameras cannot be taken into the temple inner prakaram; deposit them either inside your room safe or at the dedicated electronic counters outside the queue gate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave bags at the desk after checking out?

Yes, temporary luggage care is provided for checking-out guests preparing for departure or visiting local theerthams.

Are padlocks provided for room wardrobes?
