Temple Visiting
The temple area is open all day, and the Shiva and Shakti temples are open daily from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
When visiting the temple, please maintain a calm atmosphere and follow the guidelines below.
Before entering the temple area, please remove your shoes and leave them at the entrance. You are welcome to photograph the general views of the temple, but we kindly ask that you do not photograph or film the sacred statues (murtis) to avoid disturbing their energy.
All ceremonies and prayers (pujas) in the temple are conducted by specially trained pujaris. We ask visitors to respect this tradition and not enter the inner sanctum of the Shiva and Shakti temples.
In Sanatan Dharma, pujas are acts of worship to express reverence to the divine, strengthen spiritual connections, and seek blessings and guidance. The benefits of pujas include spiritual growth, finding inner peace, resolving problems, bringing prosperity and happiness, and fostering positive relationships within the family and community.
