Salangpur Kashtabhanjan Dev Hanuman Temple: Aarti & Puja Schedule

• Mangala Aarti (opening aarti of the day)5:30 AM
• Shringar Aarti (Shangar) on Saturdays and Tuesdays7:00 AM
• Rajbhog thal, sanctum curtain closed brieflyApprox 10:30 to 11:00 AM
• Sandhya (evening) Aarti around sunset6:30 to 7:30 PM

The devotional day is anchored by the Mangala Aarti at first light and the Sandhya Aarti around sunset, with a special Shringar (Shangar) Aarti added on the two Hanuman days, Saturday and Tuesday, when the idol is adorned and the crowds swell. Between these, the offering of thal at mid-morning and again before the midday break punctuates the darshan with brief curtain closings rather than full aartis.

Standing through an aarti here is the heart of the visit: the drum and bell, the waving of lamps and the collective recitation of the Hanuman Chalisa give the stout, moustachioed Kashtabhanjan murti its charged, almost living presence that the temple is known for. During Hanuman Jayanti the sequence expands dramatically, with a pre-dawn Mangala Aarti, a Maha Abhishek bathing of the deity and a 108 Deep Aarti of lamps. Because exact minutes move with sunrise, sunset and the festival calendar, treat the listed times as close guides and reconfirm at the gate.
