what time does the palithana mandir cloe?

The Palitana temples (Shatrunjaya) in Gujarat, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Jainism, generally open early in the morning (around 6:00 AM) and close before sunset, as per Jain tradition. Typically, the temple complex closes by 6:00 PM. However, timings can vary depending on the season and special festivals. It is also important to note that pilgrims are not allowed to stay on the Shatrunjaya hill at night, as per Jain customs. For the most accurate and current timings, it is recommended to check with the temple authorities before planning your visit.
