Planning Schedule
Temple Timings
Plan your pilgrimage with the complete daily morning and evening Pooja & Darshan schedules.
Important Notice Regarding Timing Changes
The temple timings may vary slightly on special occasions, festival days (such as Ekadasi, Vishu, Janmashtami), and during solar/lunar eclipses. On crowd-heavy weekends, special queue structures are deployed to handle pilgrims.

Recommended Time for Peace of Mind
To experience the temple with minimum queue waiting times, we recommend planning your darshan on **Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays**. The afternoon closing hours (12:30 PM to 4:30 PM) is a perfect window to relax at your hotel or visit local sights like Chavakkad Beach or the Elephant Sanctuary before returning for the magnificent evening *Deeparadhana*.
