• Gwal jhanki (evening reopening)approx 5:00 to 5:15 PM

The seven aartis, or jhankis, are the temple's entire daily liturgy, each a brief unveiling of the deity rather than a background ritual. Mangla at about 5:00 to 5:15 AM opens the day; Dhoop follows in the late morning start; Shringar around 9:30 to 10:15 AM presents the freshly dressed and jewelled deity; and Rajbhog near 10:45 to 11:45 AM marks the grand midday food offering before the long close.

The evening set begins with Gwal at the roughly 5:00 PM reopening, peaks at the Sandhya aarti around 5:45 to 6:45 PM which is the most crowded darshan of the day, and closes with Shayan near 8:00 to 8:15 PM as the deity is laid to rest. If you want a calm, intimate darshan, aim for Mangla; if you want the full swell of collective devotion, come for Sandhya. Because each window is short and the curtain drops promptly, latecomers can miss a jhanki entirely, so arrive a little before the listed time.
