Temple timing and a taxi to Porbandar
How aarti, gate closure and queue time should shape a Madhuli cab from Somnath to Porbandar.

Temple time is not road time. Porbandar is the calm halt between Somnath and Dwarka: Kirti Mandir, Sudama Mandir and a long beach. People remember the aarti and forget the walk from the car park to the gate.
For Porbandar, start from the moment you need to be present, then work backward by about 2.5 hours. If Porbandar is only a halt, say so. A full city tour is a different day.
Kirti Mandir is the stop guests regret skipping when they only look at the sea.
Madhuli’s enquiry asks for a pickup time. Use the time the car should be at the hotel, not the time of the aarti itself. The driver still needs the lane, the bags and a headcount.
