About the data
Temple Timings exists because temple timings online are usually scattered, outdated or copied uncritically from site to site. Every entry here is built from named public sources and rated for how confident that source material actually is.
How each temple is recorded
Every temple page carries the same structure: darshan hours for morning and evening, a note on anything the plain hours don't capture, the daily pooja and aarti schedule, the festival calendar, entry fees, dress code, how to reach the temple, and a short account of its history and architecture. Where a fact could not be reliably confirmed, the field is left empty rather than filled with a guess.
Confidence ratings
Each temple carries a confidence rating of high, medium or low, plus a one-line note explaining it. High means the core facts, especially timings, are corroborated by more than one independent source. Medium means the information comes from a credible but single source. Low means the source material was thin, and the listing should be treated as a starting point rather than a final answer.
What this site is not
It is not an official temple, trust, or government tourism resource, and it does not accept bookings, donations or seva payments on any temple's behalf. Links to official websites and ticketing pages are provided where they exist, and all transactions should happen there, not here.

Frequently asked questions about this data
What is this dataset, exactly?
A directory of 299 temples across 34 Indian states, each recorded with its darshan hours, aarti schedule, festival calendar, entry rules and practical visiting information.
Where does the information come from?
Public sources: mainly official temple or trust websites where one exists, supplemented by established travel and reference sites. Each temple page lists its exact sources.
Why does every temple have a confidence rating?
Because not every source agrees, and not every fact is equally well documented. A high rating means multiple independent sources agree; a low rating means the information came from a single, less authoritative source and should be treated as indicative rather than certain.
Why do some fields say nothing at all?
Rather than invent a plausible-sounding entry fee or dress code, an empty field means that detail simply wasn't reliably found in the sources checked. It's left blank on purpose.
Are the darshan hours guaranteed to be correct today?
No. Timings are the least stable fact about any temple: they shift with season, festival calendar, renovation work and simple administrative decisions. Always reconfirm close to your visit.
How is the live 'open now' status calculated?
By reading the published morning and evening hours and comparing them with the current time in India. When the published text isn't a clean, parseable range, the badge says so rather than guessing.
Is this an official or government resource?
No. It is independently compiled and is not affiliated with any temple, trust, devasthanam board or government tourism department.
Can I rely on this for religious or ritual guidance?
No. This directory covers practical visiting information only: hours, fees, dress codes and logistics. For ritual or religious guidance, consult the temple's own priests or trust.
How complete is the dataset?
Not exhaustive. It currently covers a working set of well-known and regionally significant temples; many more exist than are listed here.
Who maintains this site?
Temple Timings is maintained as an independent reference project, not run by any temple or government body.
