The temple administration has extended, by a couple of hours, general darshan through prebooking for the months of Shravan and Bhado. The viewing timings are 0500-2100 hrs barring Mondays in Shravan when pilgrims may bow before the Lord from 0500-1100 hrs and 1900-2100 hrs after prebooking, Management Committee sources said, adding that the Rs 250 special darshan would not be possible during this period.
