MOVEMENT PATTERN
Due to seating arrangement close to the parking and information centre, a number of people can be seen enjoying the shade here at any time of the day.

Since the major shaded areas of the site are around the temple water bodies, you see a high density of people here trying to get out of the sun

The shoe collection area is highly congested and blocks the otherwise smooth circulation of the site. A buffer zone here would have been ideal

Blocked paths Major walk ways Dense activity area due to shoe collection facility Dense activity area due to seating facility Arterial walk ways Circumambulatory walk ways
