Mumbai Darshan Timings — When to Visit Each Temple
Mumbai's main temples open between 4:30 and 6:00 AM and close between 9:00 and 10:30 PM — but the details decide your day: Mumbadevi is closed on Mondays, ISKCON Juhu shuts every afternoon from 1:00 to 4:30 PM, and Siddhivinayak's queue swings from 30 minutes to 5+ hours depending on the weekday. Here are all the hours in one table, with the aarti windows and the route order that fits them together.

What are the darshan timings at Mumbai's main temples?
| Temple | Daily hours | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Siddhivinayak, Prabhadevi | 5:30 AM – 9:50 PM | Opens 3:15 AM on Tuesdays; queues 2–5+ hrs that day |
| Mahalaxmi, Breach Candy | 6:00 AM – 10:00 PM | Fridays and Navratri are the goddess's peak days |
| Mumbadevi, Bhuleshwar | 6:00 AM – 9:00 PM | Closed on Mondays; midday bazaar rush around it |
| Babulnath, Malabar Hill | 5:00 AM – 10:30 PM | Shravan Mondays and Maha Shivaratri run through the night |
| ISKCON, Juhu | 4:30 AM – 1:00 PM & 4:30 – 9:00 PM | Closed every afternoon; Sunday feast crowds |
| Walkeshwar & Banganga | ≈ 6:00 AM – 9:00 PM | Quiet most days; trust-managed hours can shift |
These are the commonly published schedules, re-checked 30 July 2026. Temples control their own hours and festival days change everything — Siddhivinayak's current schedule is always at siddhivinayak.org/temple-schedule, and we confirm every temple's hours on the day of your tour.
Which aarti timings should you plan around?
| Aarti | Where | Time (commonly published) |
|---|---|---|
| Kakad aarti (dawn) | Siddhivinayak | 5:30 – 6:00 AM |
| Mangala aarti | ISKCON Juhu | 4:30 AM |
| Evening aarti | Siddhivinayak | ≈ 7:30 PM |
| Shejaarti (close of day) | Siddhivinayak | ≈ 9:50 PM |
Aarti windows are the most devotional moments of the day and also the busiest half-hours. If you want to attend one, arrive twenty minutes early; if you want the quietest darshan, come just after the morning aarti ends. Each temple page lists its own aarti rows with stations and crowd notes.
What route order makes the timings work in one day?
The hours above force a sequence. Siddhivinayak first at opening (calmest queue of the day), Mahalaxmi and Babulnath through the morning, Mumbadevi before the Bhuleshwar bazaar rush — and ISKCON Juhu either before 1:00 PM or after 4:30 PM, because it closes every afternoon. That is exactly the order our tours run, and the full reasoning is in the Mumbai darshan in one day guide.
- 6:00 AM — hotel pickup; 6:30 AM Siddhivinayak in the quietest window
- 8:30 AM — Mahalaxmi, then Babulnath on Malabar Hill
- 11:00 AM — Mumbadevi before the midday bazaar peak (skip on Mondays — it is closed)
- Afternoon — Gateway of India and Marine Drive while ISKCON is shut
- 4:30 PM onward — ISKCON Juhu as it reopens, then drop at your hotel
Which days should you avoid — and which should you choose?
| Date / day | What happens | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Tuesdays | Ganesha's day — Siddhivinayak queues 2–5+ hrs | Choose Mon or Wed–Fri instead, or embrace the 3:15 AM start |
| Mondays | Mumbadevi is closed; Babulnath is busy in Shravan | Fine for every other temple |
| Fridays | Mahalaxmi's goddess day | Go early morning |
| 13 Aug – 11 Sep 2026 | Shravan month in Maharashtra | Heavier everywhere; Shiva temples busiest on Mondays |
| Mon 14 Sep 2026 | Ganesh Chaturthi | Extreme crowds citywide through 25 Sep |
| Tue 29 Sep 2026 | Angarki Chaturthi — the holiest Tuesday | 5+ hr queues at Siddhivinayak; next one after this: 22 Jun 2027 |
| Sun 11 – Tue 20 Oct 2026 | Navratri | Mahalaxmi and Mumbadevi at their fullest |
| Ordinary Mon, Wed–Fri | No observance | The days to choose — 30–60 min at Siddhivinayak |

Quick Answers
Frequently asked questions
What time do Mumbai temples open for darshan?
Between 4:30 and 6:00 AM: ISKCON Juhu opens earliest at 4:30 AM for mangala aarti, Babulnath at 5:00 AM, Siddhivinayak at 5:30 AM (3:15 AM on Tuesdays), and Mahalaxmi and Mumbadevi at 6:00 AM.
Are Mumbai temples open on Monday?
All the major temples except Mumbadevi, which closes every Monday. Everything else — Siddhivinayak, Mahalaxmi, Babulnath, ISKCON Juhu, Walkeshwar — runs its normal hours, and Monday is actually one of the quietest days at Siddhivinayak.
What is the best time of day for darshan in Mumbai?
The first two hours after opening, on a Monday or Wednesday–Friday. Queues at Siddhivinayak run 30–60 minutes in that window against 2–5+ hours on a Tuesday. Our tours pick up at 6:00 AM for exactly this reason.
Why is ISKCON Juhu closed in the afternoon?
The temple closes from 1:00 to 4:30 PM every day, a standard ISKCON practice. Plan it as your first stop before 1:00 PM or your last after 4:30 PM — a full-day route handles this automatically.
Do temple timings change during festivals?
Yes, significantly. Siddhivinayak opens at 3:15 AM on Tuesdays and runs past midnight on Angarki Chaturthi (next: 29 Sep 2026); Babulnath stays open through Maha Shivaratri night; Ganeshotsav (14–25 Sep 2026) stretches hours across the city. Always check the official temple site in festival weeks.
