October to March is the comfortable season, sparing you Rajasthan's fierce summer, but at Mehandipur the weekly calendar matters as much as the weather. Tuesdays and Saturdays are the ritually charged days tied to Hanuman and to the exorcism rites, and they bring the densest crowds and the most dramatic scenes; a plain weekday visit is far calmer if you want an unhurried darshan.
The temple's biggest occasion is Hanuman Jayanti on Chaitra Purnima, in March or April, when a large fair fills the town and darshan runs from before dawn to late night. Parts of the region also mark a second Hanuman observance in the autumn month of Ashwin or Kartik. If you specifically want to witness the ritual side of Mehandipur at full pitch, a winter Saturday or the Hanuman Jayanti fair will show it; if you want peace, avoid exactly those windows.
