Getting around, traffic and one-way rules
Metro plus walking is usually the most dependable option after mid-afternoon. Follow live Kolkata Police and Metro Railway notices.
Safety, etiquette and practical tips
Carry water, wear comfortable shoes, charge your phone and agree on a meeting point. Respect ritual spaces and follow volunteers.
When should I go to avoid long queues?
Late morning to mid-afternoon is usually practical. Major evening lighting draws larger crowds; after 1 am can be quieter but transport is less predictable.
Should I take my own car?
It can work before afternoon restrictions. Later, use Metro for long transfers and walk or take short autos inside each cluster.
