The rhythm of a day at Salangpur is built around Hanuman being treated as a living deity of the Swaminarayan household tradition. The doors open with the Mangala Aarti before dawn, and through the morning the sanctum curtain closes for short intervals when bhog and the Rajbhog thal are offered, so a queue that seemed to be moving can pause for a few minutes while the deity is served. The long midday interval, roughly noon to mid-afternoon, is the deity's rest and no darshan happens then.
Plan around those closings rather than fighting them. Arriving between about 7 and 10 in the morning, after Mangala Aarti but before the mid-morning thal, tends to give the cleanest run at the idol on a normal weekday. Evening darshan reopens in the early afternoon and carries through to the Sandhya Aarti around sunset and a night close near 9 PM. On Hanuman Jayanti and other big days the whole schedule slides earlier and the temple can stay active far longer, so the posted board at the gate, not a generic timetable, is the only reliable source for that day.
