Dear Madam,​thanks for the reply 🙏

[@AartiVijay]

Hi, i have registered for meditation at Markal center. Can you please tell how early or by what time we need to reach the center if we have to request for separate room?

[@MindfulMoves101]

Try to reach closest to the time the registration process starts..so if it says 1pm onwards...try to be there around that time. There is usually no special preference given to anyone...but..if no single rooms are available, then the organisers cannot help. They try to accommodate requests, but rooms should be available.

[@ashu243624]

do we have to share the room?

[@MindfulMoves101]

Mostly it's shared rooms. Depends on availability. You can request single room and try to reach venue early. I had reached early and during room allotment made a request and they agreed, so I got a single room. That was at Markal center.
