    The public parking lot just outside the town square usually starts filling up around 5:15 am on equinox days, so if you’re driving from Ahmedabad, aim to leave by 4:30 am to get a spot.

If you prefer a quieter spot, staying overnight at Modhera Sunrise Resort gives you a short walk to the temple and lets you beat the early rush.
