Sivalaya Jirnodhar starting Oct 02, 2019 – Change in Temple timings

The contractor is going to start work inside the temple on Wed. Oct 02, 2019.   Keeping the devotees’ safety in view, and also to allow the contractor to work round the clock, if necessary, to complete the work in the shortest amount of time, the Mandir will be closed for Darshan during the month of October, with the below exception:

Mandir will be open from 6 PM-8 PM on Oct. 7, Oct. 14, Oct. 21, and Oct. 25 for scheduled Rudrabhiseka Seva.   No other Sevas will be performed.
