Darshan day tips

  1. Carry the same photo ID you used to book — it is checked at entry.
  2. Follow the traditional dress code: dhoti or kurta-pyjama for men, saree or churidar for women.
  3. Mobile phones, cameras and bags are not allowed inside — use the free lockers.
  4. Reach the reporting point at least an hour before your slot.
  5. Laddu prasadam counters are near the temple; keep your darshan ticket handy.
