Traffic diversions will begin at 3 pm on Monday, 26 October, in Bhopal for the ‘Shri Maa Rajrajeshwari Haridwar Kothi Kunkumarchan’ programme at Lal Parade Ground, where 25,000 devotees are expected. Around 100 buses, 4,000 four-wheelers and 8,000 two-wheelers will arrive. Buses from Raisen, Sagar and Damoh will drop devotees at Satkar Gate and park at Old Jail, those from Narmadapuram, Jabalpur and Budhni follow the same route. Buses from Ratibad, Neelbad and Lalghati will use Vijay Gate and park at MLA Rest House. Two-wheelers and four-wheelers park at Aam Wali Bagiya. Vehicles from Bharat Talkies and Lily Talkies park at Sikandariya Ground.

Restrictions will be enforced at crossings including Sangam Talkies, Bharat Talkies, Lily, Jinsi, MP Nagar police station, Roshanpura and Machhli Ghar. Passengers heading to Bhopal railway station and Nadra Bus Stand are advised to take alternative routes. Devotees will enter through Gate No. 6.
The diversions affect key Bhopal crossings, so the 25,000 devotees arriving for the evening prayer must plan their routes and parking before 3 pm. Traffic police have not announced when normal movement resumes, leaving evening commuters uncertain. The event itself goes ahead at 6 pm at Lal Parade Ground.
