According to the post shared by the SJTA chief, from October 18 onwards, entry would be allowed only through the Singhadwara (Lion's Gate) and the Western gate.

Except for the Singhadwara, any one of the three gates can be used by the devotees to exit the temple. Exit via the Singhadwara will be totally prohibited. However, this restriction won't apply to the temple servitors and their family members.

The temple administration has urged all to adhere to these rules so that darshan becomes smooth and organised.
