Khatu Shyam is one of the only temples present in the country that witnesses thousands of devotees daily visiting the temple itself. During summer times, believers witness long lines of crowds, which only grows during the winter months as many prefer to visit during this time. The temple itself has early visitation hours in the summer and slightly later hours in the winter. Make sure to check for any changed darshan timings in khatu Shyam if you are planning on visiting.
The committee representing the Shri Shyam Temple made changes to the time of Baba Shyam’s Aarti due to Kartik Shukla Paksha and the month of Margashirsha Krishna Paksha. The committee representing the temple changed the timings for two of Baba Shyam’s main aartis. The temple command would post information about this. When you make a plan to attend the Aarti at Khatu Shyam Ji Temple, learn the timings first of all 5 aartis first.
