Many devotees turn up at the temple gate during aarti time and get stopped — because they don’t have a pass. Below is the straight version: when, how, how much. 🎫 (Looking for the darshan booking instead? Shirdi special / VIP darshan online booking covers the ₹200 fast-line process in the same flow. And if you want to understand what each aarti actually means before you pick one, read our Kakad / Madhyahna / Dhoop / Shej explainer.)
