Temple timing and a taxi to Rajkot

Temple time is not road time. Rajkot Hirasar is the usual airport for a Somnath trip. The city itself is a hub, not a temple town. People remember the aarti and forget the walk from the car park to the gate.

For Rajkot, start from the moment you need to be present, then work backward by about 4 hours. Late landings still reach Somnath, but they will miss the evening aarti.

Most airport runs are a direct transfer. A city halt belongs in the first message.

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.
