Kayavarohan Lakulish Temple (Brahmeshwar Mahadev): Aarti & Puja Schedule

• Mangala and morning abhishek/puja after the shrine opensMorning
• Sandhya aarti, the main draw for visitors, especially on Mondays and in ShravanEvening

The evening sandhya aarti is the emotional centre of a Kayavarohan visit. Unlike the fixed, ticketed aartis at larger jyotirlinga temples, worship here keeps an ashram cadence, with a morning mangala and abhishek sequence after opening and the main evening aarti before the shrine winds down for the night.

Mondays carry extra weight, as they do at every Shiva shrine, and during Shravan the Monday aartis swell with local devotees. The Brahmeshwar linga, shaped as Lakulisha in meditation with staff and citron, is bathed and dressed rather than simply garlanded, so the ritual has a contemplative, unhurried feel.

Because precise clock times are not officially published and move with the season, treat the schedule as morning and evening rather than a printed minute, and verify on arrival. Photography is best paused during the aarti itself out of respect.
