To ensure smooth conduct of the 23rd edition of Chitrasanthe, Bengaluru Traffic Police have announced major traffic restrictions and diversions in central Bengaluru on Sunday, with curbs in place from 5 am to 10 pm.

During this period, vehicular movement will be restricted on both sides of the road between Windsor Manor Junction and Shivananda Circle. Commuters have been advised to follow designated alternative routes to avoid congestion and delays.
