As noticed by R. Kulkarni, the conjugacy classes of subgroups of the modular group correspond bijectively to bipartite cuboid graphs. We'll explain how to recover the graph corresponding to a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ from the combinatorics of the right action of $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$ on the right cosets $G\setminus\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. This gives a method of constructing nice fundamental domains (which Kulkarni calls "special polygons") for the action of $G$ on the upper half plane. For the classical congruence subgroups $\Gamma_0(N)$, $\Gamma_1(N)$, $\Gamma(N)$ etc. the number of operations the method requires is the index times something that grows not faster than a polynomial in $\log N$. We also give algorithms to locate a given element of the upper half-plane on the fundamental domain and to write a given element of $G$ as a product of independent generators.
