The official homepage gives these opening hours and links to a detailed temple schedule. Some temple directories list slightly different hours, such as 4:30 AM–1 PM and 4:30–8:30 PM. That usually reflects older or seasonal schedules. If you are going for a specific aarti, arrive 15–20 minutes early.

ISKCON Noida aarti timings

The daily programme below is the standard schedule published by temple directories such as Bhakti Bharat. ISKCON temples follow a similar routine worldwide. Exact minutes can shift slightly, so confirm with the temple if you are travelling for one particular aarti.

Time (approx.)	Programme
4:30 AM	Mangala Aarti (first aarti of the day)
4:50 AM	Narasimha Aarti
5:05 AM	Tulsi Aarti
7:30 AM	Darshan Aarti (Shringar darshan)
7:45 AM	Guru Puja
8:00 AM	Srimad Bhagavatam class
12:30 PM	Raj Bhog Aarti
4:30 PM	Pushpa Aarti (after the altar reopens)
6:45 PM	Tulsi Aarti
7:00 PM	Sandhya Aarti (Gaura Aarti)
7:30 PM	Narasimha Aarti
7:40 PM	Bhagavad Gita discourse
8:30 PM	Shayan Aarti (last aarti)

Which aarti to choose? Sandhya Aarti at about 7 PM is the most popular with first-time visitors and families. It has lively kirtan and is easy to reach after work. Mangala Aarti at 4:30 AM is quieter and more meditative, but you will need your own transport at that hour. Darshan Aarti around 7:30 AM is when the deities are first seen in their fresh daily dress (shringar).

About the temple

ISKCON Noida is one of the city’s best-known landmarks. The current temple was inaugurated in February 2014, according to Bhakti Bharat. It is a vertical, seven-storey building on a compact plot, with a spire that directories describe as reaching a total height of about 130–160 feet. The design fits the altar hall, prasad areas, halls and offices into a small footprint.

On the main altar, from left to right, are Sri Sri Gaura Nitai (Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu), Sri Sri Radha Govind Ji and Sri Sri Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra. The temple follows the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition taught by ISKCON’s founder, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The focus is on chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and on teachings from the Bhagavad Gita and Srimad Bhagavatam.

What to expect on a first visit

After you leave your shoes at the counter, you walk up to the main temple hall, where devotees sit on the floor facing the altar. During aarti, the curtains open and a priest offers lamps, incense, flowers and a conch while the congregation sings. Visitors are welcome to join the kirtan or simply watch. After the aarti, you can usually receive charanamrit or a small prasad at the counter. A typical visit, including darshan and one aarti, takes about 45 minutes to an hour.

Facilities

• Govinda’s restaurant: Serves sattvic vegetarian food (no onion or garlic, in keeping with ISKCON practice). The official site links to Zomato for orders. Check its hours locally.
• Guest house and function halls: Available for devotees and ceremonies; book through the temple office.
• Krishna Expo: An exhibition on Krishna’s pastimes and teachings. Ask at the temple about timings and any charges.
• Shoe counter, prasad counter, washrooms and some parking, as listed by temple directories.

Festivals at ISKCON Noida

The temple celebrates the full Vaishnava calendar, including Gaura Purnima, Ram Navami, Narasimha Chaturdashi, Jagannath Rath Yatra, Jhulan Yatra, Balaram Jayanti, Janmashtami, Radhashtami, Diwali, Govardhan Puja, Gopashtami and Gita Jayanti. There is also a 24-hour kirtan on every Ekadashi, according to temple listings.

Janmashtami is by far the busiest day. For Janmashtami on 4 September 2026, The Hans India reported that more than 600 police personnel were deployed. Traffic was diverted around the Gijhor and Atta routes, and devotee parking was set up near the Adobe building. Expect similar arrangements every year. In the coming months, the Kartik (Damodar) month, Diwali and Govardhan Puja also draw large crowds.

How to reach ISKCON Temple Noida

• Metro: The nearest stations are Noida City Centre and Noida Sector 34 on the Delhi Metro Blue Line. Take a short auto or e-rickshaw ride to Sector 33 from either. Noida Sector 18 also works, with a slightly longer auto ride.
• By road: The temple is on Maharaja Agrasen Marg opposite the NTPC office, reached via the Gijhor road and Ashok Marg side. Type “ISKCON Noida” into a cab app.
• Parking: There is limited parking at the temple. On festival days, use the police-designated parking or come by metro.

Dress code and etiquette

• Wear modest clothing that covers shoulders and knees. Traditional wear is welcome but not required.
• Leave footwear at the shoe counter before entering.
• Keep phones on silent. Photography is generally allowed with respect, but follow staff instructions near the altar and during aarti.
• Non-vegetarian food, alcohol and tobacco are not permitted on the premises.

Best time to visit ISKCON Noida

If you want…	Go at	Why
Quiet darshan	Weekday, 8:30 AM–12 noon	After the morning programmes, before lunchtime visitors arrive
Kirtan and a lively atmosphere	About 6:45–7:30 PM	Tulsi and Sandhya Aarti, with the Gita discourse after
A spiritual early start	4:15–5:15 AM	Mangala, Narasimha and Tulsi Aarti in quick succession
Festival experience	Janmashtami, Radhashtami, Govardhan Puja	Decorations and special programmes, but very large crowds and long queues

Weekends, especially Sunday evenings, are busier than weekdays. In winter, the early-morning aartis are cold and dark, so plan transport in advance.

Tips and mistakes to avoid

• Don’t arrive between 1 PM and 4:15 PM expecting darshan. The altar is closed.
• Go for Sandhya Aarti on a weekday for kirtan without weekend crowds.
• On Janmashtami and Diwali, use the metro. Roads around Sector 33 are diverted and parking is restricted.
• Carry small change or UPI for prasad, the restaurant and donations; entry itself is free.
• Check Ekadashi dates. Programmes change on Ekadashi, and the temple publishes Ekadashi and paran timings on its website.
• Plan a combined outing. Noida Haat (Shilp Haat) is also in Sector 33, so you can visit it before evening aarti.

Combine your visit

If you are on a temple trail, read our overview of famous temples in Noida and our guide to the Sai Baba temple in Sector 61. For a craft-and-culture afternoon before aarti, visit Noida Haat in Sector 33. If you are interested in Vedic heritage, Ved Van Park in Sector 78 is a peaceful place to spend a morning.

For a smooth visit, remember the official hours of 4:15 AM–1 PM and 4:15 PM–8:45 PM, aim for the 7 PM Sandhya Aarti, and avoid the afternoon closure. On festival days, check the temple’s website or call ahead, because timings and traffic arrangements change.
