All servants including gate keepers, shoe-keepers, servants of Shamim Rezvan section, and female servants are stationed in various parts of the complex and give necessary services since hours before the start of the ceremony; additional groups of servants have been added to the service capacity to increase the speed and accuracy of delivering services in addition to the presence of routine servants.
Also, around 550 thousand volumes of special books and booklets needed by pilgrims during 19th, 21st, and 23rd nights of Ramadan have been transferred from bookstores to the premises. These books are distributed appropriately in adequate numbers among mournful pilgrims in all courtyards and porticos of the shrine.
Furthermore, a comprehensive plan for carpeting central and marginal courtyards of the shrine, porticos, entrances, routes, parking lots, cemeteries, and porches is underway so that pilgrims can also use carpeted spaces during the ceremony. Carpeting two parking lots has also been taken into account with regard to inclement weather. Carpets will cover 221 thousand square meters of shrine’s surfaces.
The holy shrine has also programmed collective performance of daily prayers during the three nights of Qadr for those who have lost performance of their prayers in their right time. These prayers are performed collectively in two separate places in Maqsureh porch and in Nahawandi hall for men and women respectively.
