As a Shakti shrine, Chamundeshwari's daily worship follows the abhisheka, alankara and mangalarathi cycle. The morning begins before general darshan with the ceremonial bathing (abhisheka) of the eight-armed goddess, after which she is dressed and adorned for alankara darshan, roughly between 6:00 and 7:30 AM. A midday mahamangalarathi and naivedya offering come before the early-afternoon closing, and an evening deepalankara with lamps and mangalarathi rounds off the night session around 8:00 to 9:00 PM.

The seva that pulls the biggest crowds is the Rahukala puja on Tuesdays and Fridays, timed to the inauspicious Rahu kalam and considered especially powerful when offered to the fierce form of the Devi. Devotees also book special abhisheka and alankara sevas, and jewel-adorned darshan is a highlight during Dasara. Precise clock times for each seva are not uniformly published and shift on festival days, so treat the windows here as approximate and check the seva counter for the day's schedule and ticketed offerings.
