The managing trusts and local administration have released updated seasonal guidelines for pilgrims visiting Sammed Shikharji. These guidelines focus on ensuring safety, maintaining Jain maryada, and managing increased pilgrim movement during peak months. Pilgrims are advised to strictly follow barefoot walking rules, maintain silence on the hill, and avoid carrying prohibited items such as leather goods, tobacco, or intoxicants. Special emphasis has been placed on disciplined group movement, night yatra timing regulations, and respecting Tonk sanctity. Elderly pilgrims are encouraged to assess physical fitness before undertaking the yatra and arrange assistance if required. These measures aim to preserve the spiritual atmosphere of the Siddha Kshetra while ensuring a safe and meaningful pilgrimage experience for all devotees.

Several Jain bhojanalayas operating near Sammed Shikharji have announced revised meal timings to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims during peak yatra periods. Morning breakfast, lunch, and dinner schedules have been adjusted to reduce congestion and ensure timely service. All meals continue to follow strict Jain saatvik standards, with no onion, garlic, root vegetables, or fermented items. Pilgrims are requested to adhere to designated dining slots and cooperate with volunteers managing seating and distribution. These changes are temporary and will remain in effect throughout the active pilgrimage season. The initiative aims to provide hygienic, peaceful, and organized meal services while maintaining discipline and minimizing waiting time for yatris.

Registered Jain trusts, in collaboration with volunteer groups, have announced a structured cleanliness drive across the Sammed Shikharji yatra route and surrounding areas. The initiative focuses on waste management, plastic reduction, and maintaining cleanliness near Tonks, rest points, and base areas. Volunteers will assist pilgrims by guiding proper waste disposal and spreading awareness about environmental responsibility. Pilgrims are requested to avoid littering and carry reusable items wherever possible. This initiative reflects Jain values of ahimsa and responsibility toward all living beings. Maintaining cleanliness is not only a civic duty but also a spiritual practice that preserves the sanctity of this Siddha Kshetra for future generations.

The Shikharji ropeway authorities have released an updated operational schedule to ensure orderly movement and passenger safety. The ropeway service is primarily intended for elderly pilgrims, physically challenged devotees, and emergency use. Pilgrims are advised to check daily operational timings and weather conditions before planning usage. Priority access may be granted during peak crowd hours based on necessity. Strict Jain maryada applies during ropeway usage, including respectful conduct and silence. This announcement aims to clarify service availability and encourage pilgrims to use the ropeway responsibly, without compromising the spiritual discipline of the pilgrimage.

Registered Jain trusts have opened volunteer registrations for upcoming pilgrimage periods at Sammed Shikharji. Volunteers will assist in yatri guidance, cleanliness management, bhojan seva coordination, and general support services. Applicants are expected to follow Jain maryada, maintain discipline, and demonstrate compassion and physical readiness. Training and task assignments will be coordinated by trust representatives. Volunteering at Shikharji is considered a spiritually enriching opportunity, allowing individuals to serve pilgrims while participating directly in seva. Interested devotees are encouraged to register in advance due to limited volunteer slots and structured deployment plans.

The managing authorities have issued a reminder regarding photography and conduct rules at Sammed Shikharji. Photography is restricted near Tonks and sensitive spiritual zones to preserve sanctity and prevent disturbances. Pilgrims are requested to respect signage, avoid videography, and maintain silence in sacred areas. Any violation of these guidelines may result in penalties or restricted access. The announcement reinforces that Shikharji is not a tourist destination but a sacred Siddha Kshetra. Adhering to conduct rules ensures a peaceful environment conducive to meditation, devotion, and spiritual reflection for all pilgrims.
