Temple timing and a taxi to Somnath

Temple time is not road time. Somnath is the home desk. The Jyotirlinga, Triveni Ghat and Bhalka Tirth are close, and the lanes fill when the aarti starts. People remember the aarti and forget the walk from the car park to the gate.

For Somnath, start from the moment you need to be present, then work backward by the time you spend in darshan, not on the highway. Do not plan a tight train if the evening aarti is the reason you came.

Bhalka Tirth and the sangam are the two stops guests add after the mandir.

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.
