Temple Darshan Benefits: In our busy life, whenever our mind becomes restless or we have to start some new work, our steps automatically move towards the temple. The peace and positive energy found in the temple makes us strong from within. But often a question arises in people’s mind that what is the best time to visit the temple? Is it more fruitful to have darshan of God in the morning or is it better to attend the evening aarti? Let us know what is the correct rule and time of visiting the temple according to the scriptures.

Why is going to temple in the morning considered most auspicious?

According to religious beliefs, the time from Brahma Muhurta to after sunrise is considered best for worship and darshan of God. At this time the environment remains calm and pure. It is believed that the mind remains more concentrated in the morning, making it easier to concentrate on devotion to God. It is said in the scriptures that starting the day with darshan of God and praying, positive thoughts come to a person’s mind and energy remains throughout the day. Therefore, morning Mangala Aarti and special puja also have special significance in many temples.

Is it auspicious to go to temple in the evening?

If for some reason it is not possible to go to the temple in the morning, then God can be seen in the evening also. The evening aarti that takes place after sunset has been said to have special significance in Hindu religion. At this time, worshiping God by lighting a lamp is believed to bring positivity in home and life. Therefore, according to the scriptures, evening time is also considered auspicious for worship and darshan.

At what time in the morning and evening do we get more virtue?

According to religious texts, it is considered right to have darshan of God with reverence in the morning and evening. Because for God, faith and true devotion are more important than time. If a person goes to the temple even in the evening with full heart and faith, he also receives the blessings of God. Therefore, time alone is not considered the biggest basis in devotion to God.

Can we go to the temple even in the afternoon?

In most temples there is a tradition of offering food to the Lord and taking rest during the afternoon. For this reason many temples remain closed for some time. In such a situation, morning and evening time is considered more convenient for darshan and in accordance with religious tradition. However, the opening and closing time of different temples may be different. Because some temples remain open for the devotees 24 hours a day, morning, afternoon and evening, except on special occasions, except for the Lord’s rest, offering, aarti and cleaning.
