While Brahmakapal is an open ghat, booking a Pandit in advance is advisable, especially during peak seasons like Pitru Paksha or the main Yatra months (May-June, Sep-Oct). This ensures you have a dedicated priest and avoids waiting times. You can book through online platforms specializing in pilgrimage services, hotel references, or by contacting known priests directly if possible. For the ritual space itself, no booking is required, but arriving early during busy periods is recommended
