Delhi Darshan Day Package

Delhi Darshan Day Package: Temples and Places of Worship

“Delhi darshan” is used loosely to mean any one-day Delhi tour, but the booking we get most often is a devotional one – a day visiting the city’s temples, gurudwaras and shrines rather than its forts and tombs. That is what this package is built around. If you want the monuments instead, our Delhi sightseeing tour covers the Red Fort, Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb.

Delhi is unusually rich for this. Within one city you can see the largest Hindu temple complex of its kind, one of the most important Sikh gurudwaras in India, a Bahá’í house of worship, a Mughal congregational mosque and a Sufi dargah – in a single day, with a car and driver who knows where to park at each one.

Package at a Glance

The Main Stops

Akshardham. Completed in 2005 in traditional stone with no structural steel or concrete, and the biggest time commitment of the day – allow two to three hours. Electronics are not permitted inside and the cloakroom queue is slow, so it works best first thing or last. Closed Mondays.

Gurudwara Bangla Sahib. One of the most significant Sikh gurudwaras in Delhi, with the sarovar tank and a langar serving tens of thousands of free meals daily. Heads covered, shoes off, and anyone is welcome to eat. For many visitors this is the stop that stays with them.

Lotus Temple. The Bahá’í House of Worship – twenty-seven marble petals, silent inside, open to people of every faith. 45 minutes. Closed Mondays.

Laxminarayan Temple (Birla Mandir). Built by the Birla family in 1939 and inaugurated by Gandhi on the condition it be open to all castes, which at the time was the point of it. Central and quick to visit.

Chhatarpur Temple. A very large white marble complex in south Delhi dedicated to Katyayani, busiest during Navratri when queues run for hours.

Kalkaji Mandir. An old Kali shrine directly opposite the Lotus Temple, which makes the two an efficient pair.

ISKCON Temple, East of Kailash. Krishna temple with a well-regarded vegetarian restaurant attached – a natural lunch stop on a darshan day.

Jama Masjid and Nizamuddin Dargah. India’s largest mosque, and the 14th-century Sufi shrine where qawwali is sung on Thursday evenings – worth timing your day around if you are in Delhi on a Thursday.

A Workable One-Day Order

Morning: Akshardham as it opens, before the cloakroom queue builds. Late morning: Bangla Sahib, with langar if you would like to eat there. Midday: Birla Mandir, then lunch at ISKCON. Afternoon: Lotus Temple and Kalkaji, which face each other. Late afternoon: Chhatarpur, or Nizamuddin Dargah if it is a Thursday.

That is a full day, and it assumes you avoid Monday when both Akshardham and the Lotus Temple are closed. Eight or nine stops is too many to do properly – we would rather you saw six well.

Practical Notes

• Dress modestly at all of these – shoulders and knees covered. Heads covered at the gurudwara and the mosque; both provide scarves.
• Shoes come off at every stop. Slip-ons save a surprising amount of time across eight of them.
• Leave electronics in the car for Akshardham. The driver stays with the vehicle.
• Festival days – Navratri at Chhatarpur, Janmashtami at ISKCON, Guru Parab at Bangla Sahib – mean very long queues. Worth knowing before you plan.
