Skip the evening rush

This is perhaps the most important step you can take. Try visiting the pandals in the afternoons. Sure, they look more beautiful at night, but they’re also much more crowded. You’re overwhelmed by the crowd, the noise, the sweat, the endless queues. Get your darshan in the absence of these distractions. This may sound anti-social, but it’s the perfect loophole for an introvert. Be back home before the queues and traffic ruin your experience.
