Aarti in Mayapur

Mangala Arati at Mayapur

The first service of the day, at half past four in the morning, when the curtains open and the deities are woken with lamps, conch and drums while several hundred people sing together in a dark hall. It is the emotional centre of the daily schedule here, and the reason many residents get up at four. Visitors are welcome to stand at the back and just listen.

Daily at 04:30, ending around 05:00. Then Nrsimha arati 05:00, Tulasi arati 05:10, Darshan arati 07:00, Guru Puja 07:30, Bhagavatam class 08:00–09:00, Bhoga arati 12:00. The temple closes 13:00–16:00, then Dhupa arati 16:00, Sandhya arati 18:00 (18:30 in summer), Shayana arati 20:15, closing at 20:30.
