"As foreign visitors, we were amazed by the Chandana Abhishekam ceremony. Although we couldn't enter the inner sanctum, the staff arranged a special viewing area for us. A truly cultural experience!"

Regular darshan is free but involves waiting in the general queue. Special darshan requires a ticket purchase but provides quicker access to the main shrine with shorter waiting times.
You can book poojas online through our website or by calling the temple administration office at +91-452-2344360. Advance booking is recommended, especially during festivals and weekends.
For most poojas, the temple provides the necessary items as part of the pooja package. However, you may bring additional offerings like fruits, flowers, or traditional clothing for the deities if you wish.
Photography is strictly prohibited inside the main sanctum and during special rituals. You may take photos in the outer areas of the temple complex, but not of the main deities.
We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before your scheduled pooja time to complete security checks and preparations. For special festival poojas, arrive 45-60 minutes early.
