Your Mandir is open everyday (Mon - Fri 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m., Saturdays 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m, Sundays 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 a.m. However, sadly, Arati is not performed everyday at Temple. The board would like to start a daily Arati project even if it's for 5-10 mins. Everything we have in life is by the grace of Shri Lakshmi Narayan and our community cannot find 5-10 minutes everyday to do Arati at Mandir. This is a very special and unique opportunity being opened by the board to the community. Devotees who are interested to do Arati at Temple during the week (once or twice a week) to please contact the board. A list of devotees would be created and a devotee, a family or a group of devotees can do the daily Arati on a convenient day. Why is our Shri Lakshmi Narayan Mandir the only Mandir where there is no daily Arati? Hari OM to all dearest Shri Lakshmi Narayan devotees, please join this daily Arati spiritual project!
