Official morning & evening sanctum opening hours for Shri Radha Rani Janmasthan Mandir (Rawal)
At Banke Bihari temple, the curtain before Thakur Ji is pulled shut and reopened every 2–3 minutes. As per sacred lore, this prevents devotees from becoming enchanted and losing conscious awareness in Thakur Ji’s divine gaze.
Sanctum doors remain strictly closed for deity rest & Rajbhog offering. Please plan morning darshan before 11:30 AM or arrive for evening darshan after 04:30 PM.
