These include Wazirabad Road, GT Road, Loni Road, NH-24, Road Number 56, Kalindi Kunj Road, Mathura Road, Ring Road, ISBT Kashmiri Gate, Rani Jhansi Road, Ridge Road and Dhaula Kuan. These are commonly used by pilgrims heading to collect Gangajal before moving towards their respective Shiva temples.

According to Delhi Police, pilgrims entering the city from the Maharajpur or Ghazipur borders will travel via Road No. 56, Ghazipur roundabout, NH-24, Ring Road and Mathura Road, eventually exiting at the Badarpur border towards Haryana. Those entering from Noida will follow the Kalindi Kunj route to Mathura Road and exit at Badarpur as well.
