Abstract:  This study focuses on improving transportation infrastructure at the Lord Narasimha temple, located on Lion Hill near Visakhapatnam. With increasing traffic flow due to the large volume of devotees, especially during the ChandanotsavamFestival Festival, there is a need to plan and design facilities to accommodate this growth. The research aims to design parking, bus bays, and peripheral ghat roads at the hill’s entry and exit points. Additionally, the study addresses the construction of retaining structures, drainage disposal systems, and footpath arrangements, considering the uneven hill terrain. The objective is to create a functional and organized infrastructure to enhance visitor access and safety.

Key words: Lord Narasimha temple, Lion Hill, transportation infrastructure, ghat roads, parking design, bus bays, retaining structures, hill terrain, ChandanotsavamFestival
