Visiting Kashi Vishwanath Temple is a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual experience. This comprehensive guide covers everything pilgrims need to know for a meaningful and hassle-free darshan in 2026.
Temple Timings
The temple opens daily from 2:30 AM to 11:00 PM, with multiple aarti sessions throughout the day. Mangala Aarti (3:00–4:00 AM) is the most sought-after but requires special booking.
Dress Code
Traditional modest attire is mandatory. Mobile phones, leather items, and bags are not allowed inside the main sanctum. Lockers are available near the entrance.
VIP Darshan vs General Queue
General queues can take 2–4 hours during peak season. Our VIP darshan packages provide guided assistance, priority entry, and a complete temple corridor experience — ideal for families and senior citizens.
"Kashi is not just a city — it is the spiritual heart of India. Every lane, every ghat, every temple tells a story of devotion spanning millennia."
Best Time to Visit
October to March offers pleasant weather. Avoid major festivals unless you book months in advance. Weekday mornings have shorter queues.
