Parking & road closures
What the Pune City Traffic Police have published for the festival: 23 places to park, 13 stretches closed after 17:00, and 23 junctions named on the same plan. All of it is on the map too — parking as blue P discs, closures as dashed lines.
What the map shows
Mandals
Every mandal, drawn the same — queue readings are off
Metro

- Hollow — for the journey home; arrive at a filled station
Traffic Police plan
- Parking — 23 places
- Closed after 17:00 — 13 stretches
- Junction on the closure plan — 23 of them
- One way on foot — arrows point the way to walk
Parking and closures are Pune City Traffic Police’s own plan, captured 13 September. A plan, not a live view — follow the barricades in front of you.
Zoom in for the names — they appear as the lanes become legible rather than crowding the view.
Taken from Pune City Traffic Police’s own map, “Traffic Diversions and Parking”, prepared by Traffic Planner Anish Shelar, API Sachin Jadhav, PC 8952 Anant Dhavale. Coordinates are theirs.
Open the police mapThis is a published plan, not a live view. It does not say how many vehicles fit, what it costs, or whether a place is open or already full tonight — and police arrangements can change on the day. Follow the barricades and the constable in front of you over anything on this page.

One way on foot
These are not closed roads. They are open, and full — the crowd on them is made to move in one direction so a lane a few metres wide can carry lakhs of people. Walk with it and you will move. Try to come back up and you will not be let through. On the maps they are the blue lines, and the arrows along them point the way you walk.
Walk south Dagdusheth
Shaniwar Wada chowk down Shivaji Road
The crowd here walks one way, southwards down Shivaji Road as far as the chowk by Dagdusheth. You will not be able to walk back up it — plan to come out another way.
Walk south Tulshibaug
Guruji Talim to Tulshibaug
The crowd walks one way here, southwards out of Guruji Talim towards Tulshibaug. You will not be able to come back north up it.
Walk south Jilbya Maruti
Tulshibaug to Jilbya Maruti
The crowd walks one way here, on south past Tulshibaug towards Jilbya Maruti. You will not be able to come back north up it — keep going and come round.
Walk west Bajirao Road
Tulshibaug to Bajirao Road
The crowd walks one way here, west out of Tulshibaug towards Bajirao Road. You will not be able to come back east along it — there is no turning round at Tulshibaug.
Walk east the main lane
Tulshibaug east to the main lane
The crowd walks one way here, eastwards out of Tulshibaug back towards the main lane. You will not be able to come back west along it into Tulshibaug — come round the other way.
Walk south Gotiram Bhaiya chowk
Dagdusheth to Gotiram Bhaiya chowk
The crowd walks one way here, southwards away from Dagdusheth towards Gotiram Bhaiya chowk. You will not be able to walk back up it.
Build my route already knows. A walking plan is ordered to go down these stretches rather than up them, so the way out is onward.
Junctions on the closure plan
These 23 junctions are marked on the same layer. The map does not say what happens at each one — whether it is a barricade, a no-entry or a turning point — so neither does this page. Expect to be directed when you reach one.

What this page does not have
The parking numbering skips 8, 18, 23 and 24. Those were not published, so they are not here — a list running 1 to 27 with four invented entries would be worse than a list with gaps.
No capacity, no charges, no whether-it-is-full, and no live confirmation that a closure is in force tonight. This is a plan captured on 13 September 2026, and police arrangements change on the day.
