Vrindavan Winter Darshan Timings 2026-27- Temple-Wise Guide
Vrindavan’s winter darshan season runs from November to February/March, with most temples shifting to a later morning opening and an earlier evening close. Banke Bihari moves to 8:45 AM–1:30 PM and 4:30 PM–8:30 PM from Bhai Dooj (11 November 2026). ISKCON opens earliest at 4:30 AM (Mangala Aarti 5:00 AM), while Shahji Temple closes earliest in the evening at 7:30 PM. Every major temple closes for the afternoon break, roughly 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Build your day around two darshan windows—morning and evening—not one continuous outing. The Prem Mandir light show runs 7:00 PM–7:30 PM in winter. Always confirm festival-day schedules locally, especially in December and January when fog can delay travel.
