Mahudi keeps long visiting hours through the day, which is part of why it works so well as a day trip from Ahmedabad. The most widely cited window is roughly 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM daily, and pilgrims who have been repeatedly single out the 6 AM aarti as the moment to aim for: the campus is cool, the queues are short, and the deity's shrine is unhurried. Note that one temple directory lists a narrower 10 AM to 5 PM window, which likely reflects a specific shrine or an older schedule, so treat published hours as indicative rather than fixed.
As at most Jain derasars, expect the possibility of a midday interval when the sanctum is closed for ritual, and expect the calendar to override the clock on festival days. On Kali Chaudas the havan and crowds stretch hours well beyond the norm. Because no single official timing is published consistently across sources, the safest move is a quick call to the Sangh trust the day before you travel, especially if you are timing your visit around a particular aarti.
