Here’s an overview of the typical waiting times for darshan at the temple:

  1. General Darshan:
    • General darshan refers to the standard queue system where devotees wait in line for their turn to have a glimpse of the deity.
    • During peak pilgrimage seasons, such as festivals and holidays, the waiting time for general darshan can be quite long, ranging from several hours to even more than a day.
    • On regular days with average footfall, the waiting time for general darshan may range from a few hours to half a day.
  2. Special Darshan:
    • Special darshan tickets, also known as Seeghra Darshan or Quick Darshan, are available for devotees who wish to bypass the regular queue and have expedited access to the main temple sanctum.
    • The waiting time for special darshan is significantly shorter compared to general darshan and may vary from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the rush and demand.
  3. Sarva Darshan (Free Darshan):
    • Sarva Darshan refers to the free darshan facility available to all devotees without any fee.
    • The waiting time for Sarva Darshan can be extensive, especially during peak seasons, and may range from several hours to more than a day.
    • Devotees opting for Sarva Darshan are required to wait in long queues, which can be physically demanding but spiritually rewarding.
  4. Divya Darshan (Footpath Darshan):
    • Divya Darshan is a facility provided for devotees who prefer to trek to the temple via the pedestrian footpath known as Srivari Mettu or Alipiri Mettu.
    • The waiting time for Divya Darshan may vary depending on the pace of the devotees’ trek and the crowd at the footpath entrance.
    • Typically, devotees opting for Divya Darshan should be prepared for a moderate waiting time, which may range from a couple of hours to half a day, depending on the crowd.
