Five aartis frame the day at Khatu. It opens with Mangala Aarti in the dark (around 4:30 AM in summer, 5:30 AM in winter), when the deity is greeted before the crowds thicken. After the ritual bath and dressing comes Shringar Aarti (around 7:00 to 8:00 AM), the most photographed moment when Shyam Baba appears in full ornament, and this is the aarti most pilgrims try hardest to catch.

Midday brings the Bhog Aarti before the rest break, and the day winds down with Sandhya Aarti around sunset and Shayan Aarti at closing, when the deity is put to rest. To stand near the sanctum for the marquee morning aartis you need to be in the queue well ahead, because the compound fills fast on any Ekadashi or Friday-Saturday. As with the darshan clock, exact aarti times shift with the season, so reconfirm locally.
