Vrindavan Aarti Schedule: The Complete Daily Timings of All Major Temples

Vrindavan's major temples follow strict seasonal daily aarti schedules, with a set of aartis through the day and a firm afternoon closure when the deities rest. This comes from the tradition of Ashtayama Seva, the eightfold daily worship. Because the timings differ by temple and by season and shift between summer and winter, it helps to plan a morning darshan track and an evening one around the mi...
