Plan your visit to Baba Baidyanath Dham
The temple opens around 4:00 AM. Morning darshan generally runs until early afternoon, after which the temple closes for a few hours for rituals, then reopens for evening darshan and Aarti until around 8:00–9:00 PM. Timings can vary slightly day to day, so it's best to confirm on the official temple website before you travel.
During the holy month of Shravan, lakhs of Kanwariya pilgrims walk about 105 km from Sultanganj carrying sacred Ganga water to offer at the Jyotirlinga — one of the world's longest religious fairs. Darshan timings are extended during this period, and Deoghar sees very heavy crowds.
Mahashivratri is another major occasion at Baba Baidyanath Dham, drawing large numbers of devotees with extended darshan hours. If visiting during Shravani Mela or Mahashivratri, plan for longer queues and book your hotel well in advance.
Mobile phones, cameras and leather items are generally not allowed inside the temple premises. Dress modestly, and consider using DialSeva's cab service to reach the temple comfortably, especially during festival season.
