1. ISKCON Noida (Sri Sri Radha Govind Dev temple), Sector 33

ISKCON Noida is the city’s best-known temple. It is a vertical, seven-storey building on a compact plot at A-5, Maharaja Agrasen Marg, Sector 33, opposite the NTPC office. Temple listings give its height as roughly 130–160 ft. The main altar has Sri Sri Radha Govind Dev Ji, along with Sri Sri Gaura Nitai and Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra. According to temple listings, the current temple was inaugurated in February 2014, although ISKCON had been active in Noida since 1998.

• Darshan (as of September 2026): About 4:30 AM to 1 PM and 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM.
• Key aartis: Mangala aarti at 4:30 AM, Sandhya aarti around 7 PM, Shayan aarti around 8:30 PM.
• Facilities: Govinda’s vegetarian restaurant, shoe counter, prasad counter, halls for functions. Entry is free.
• Nearest metro: Noida City Centre and Noida Sector 18 on the Blue Line, followed by a short auto ride.

Janmashtami note: ISKCON Noida draws the city’s biggest Janmashtami crowds. For Janmashtami on 4 September 2026, news reports said more than 600 police personnel were deployed, with traffic diversions around the Gijhor and Atta areas and designated devotee parking near the Adobe building. If you go on a festival day, use the metro and expect long queues.

2. Shri Sanatan Dharam Mandir, Sector 19

In C-Block of Sector 19, this is one of Noida’s oldest and best-loved neighbourhood temples. It has shrines to several deities, including a Navgrah (nine planets) temple, and a small garden. It holds large programmes for Ram Navami, Maha Shivratri, Dussehra and Janmashtami. Police planning for Janmashtami 2026 listed it among the key temples after ISKCON. It is a good choice if you want a traditional North Indian mandir atmosphere without ISKCON-scale crowds.

3. Noida Kali Bari, Sector 26

Noida Kali Bari, on Kalibari Marg in Sector 26 near Apollo Hospital, is the centre of Bengali cultural life in the city. It was registered in 1984 and the temple was consecrated in 1986. It enshrines Maa Kali along with Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva and Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, in a style inspired by Bengal’s terracotta temples.

• Summer timings (April–September): About 5 AM–1 PM and 5:30–9:30 PM; evening aarti around 7:30 PM.
• Winter timings (October–March): About 6 AM–1 PM and 5–9 PM; evening aarti around 7 PM.
• Festivals: Durga Puja, Kali Puja, Saraswati Puja, Navratri, Shivratri, Janmashtami.

Its Durga Puja is one of Noida’s most popular, with cultural evenings and Bengali food stalls. The campus also has a guest house, a library and a charitable dispensary, according to temple listings.

4. Shirdi Sai Baba Mandir, Sector 40

Run by the Shri Sai Samiti at 64-D/2, F Block, Sector 40, this white-marble temple follows the worship pattern of the Sai Baba Samadhi Mandir at Shirdi. Its published programme lists three main aartis (as of September 2026):

• Kakad aarti: 6 AM (with snan, or ritual bathing)
• Madhyan aarti: 12 noon
• Dhoop aarti: 6–6:30 PM

Thursdays, Sai Baba’s special day, are the busiest. The temple has an air-conditioned prayer hall and a meditation centre, and it says it runs a free bus service for devotees on Thursdays and select holidays. It is also known locally for charitable meals and a dispensary.

5. Sree Ayyappa Temple, Sector 62

At C-47, Sector 62, near the IT and institutional belt, the Sree Ayyappa Temple serves Noida’s large Malayali community and devotees from across South India. Local directories say it was established in 2002 and built in Kerala (Chera) temple style, with stone reportedly brought from Kerala’s Bharathapuzha river region. Expect traditional dress norms and quieter, ritual-focused worship. The busiest period is the Mandala–Makaravilakku season from about mid-November to mid-January, when many devotees keep the 41-day vratham (vow).

Other temples worth knowing

• Arya Samaj Mandir, Sector 33: For those interested in Vedic worship, Arya Samaj temples perform havan (fire ritual) based on Vedic mantras instead of idol worship, and they are widely used for simple Vedic-rite weddings.
• Prachin Shiv and Shani temples, Sector 44 (Chhalera): Temples rooted in the older village settlements that existed before Noida’s sectors were planned. They draw big crowds on Saturdays and during Shivratri.
• Village temples: Villages such as Bishanpura and Chhalera, now surrounded by sectors, have older shrines worth a quiet visit.

If you enjoy the Vedic side of Noida’s heritage, pair a temple visit with Ved Van Park in Sector 78, India’s first Vedic theme park, whose zones are named after the Saptarishis.

Nearby: Swaminarayan Akshardham, Delhi

Technically in Delhi, Akshardham stands near Noida Mor, a few minutes from the DND Flyway, and it is often part of a Noida temple day. Inaugurated on 6 November 2005, it is one of India’s largest Hindu temple complexes, famous for its carved pink sandstone and white marble monument, exhibitions and water show. Entry to the complex is free, but exhibitions and the water show are ticketed, and phones and bags are not allowed inside. Delhi Tourism’s Akshardham visitor information lists first entry at 9:30 AM, last entry at 6:30 PM and a Monday closure. Check before you go. Akshardham metro station on the Blue Line is the nearest.

A half-day temple route

1. Morning: ISKCON Noida (Sector 33) for darshan, then breakfast at Govinda’s.
2. Late morning: Shri Sanatan Dharam Mandir (Sector 19), about 10–15 minutes by road.
3. Evening: Noida Kali Bari (Sector 26) for the 7–7:30 PM aarti.

The same route works in the evening in reverse. For other ideas after darshan, see our guide to places to visit in Noida at night. Hindi readers can read नोएडा में घूमने की जगह.

Tips and etiquette for temple visits

• Dress modestly. Covered shoulders and knees are expected. The Ayyappa temple may follow stricter traditional dress norms, so check before going in.
• Leave footwear at the counter. Most temples have a shoe stand. Carry socks in summer, when marble floors get very hot.
• Ask before taking photos of the sanctum. Rules differ by temple. Some allow photos freely, while others restrict them near the deities.
• Avoid festival-day driving. Janmashtami at ISKCON and Durga Puja at Kali Bari bring diversions and very limited parking. The metro and a short auto ride are faster.
• Carry small change for prasad, flowers and donations, although most temples accept UPI.
• Respect aarti times. Arrive 10–15 minutes early, keep phones silent, and do not block the queue for photos.
• Check midday closures. Most temples close between about 1 PM and 4:30 PM, so plan around that break.

Noida’s temples reflect how the city was built: by families who moved in from across India. That is why Vaishnava, Bengali Shakta, Sai and Kerala traditions sit within a few kilometres of each other. Pick one for a quiet morning darshan, or combine three for a half-day route, and check the timings on festival days.
