| Aarti | Time | About |
|---|---|---|
| Kakada Aarti | Morning opening worship - lamps and prayers to begin the day’s darshan. | |
| Madhyana Aarti | Midday aarti at the centre of the day - a calm pause for office-goers and neighbours. | |
| Dhoopaarathi | Evening lamp and incense offering - the most attended aarti on Thursdays and busy days. | |
| Shejaarathi | Night closing aarti - concluding the day’s worship before the temple winds down. |
