Baba Shyam Calls You Why This Year’s Khatu Shyam Lakhi Mela Will Be Different

If you are a devotee of Baba Shyam, there is some heart-warming news coming your way. The doors to the world-famous Khatu Shyam Temple are staying open for longer, and the preparations for the upcoming Lakhi Mela 2026 are already in full swing.

For those planning their pilgrimage, this year’s fair is set to be more organized and accessible than ever before, especially during the highly auspicious Rangbhari Ekadashi.

Darshan Available 24/7

To handle the massive sea of devotees (often reaching lakhs), the temple administration has made a major announcement: the temple will remain open for 24 hours a day during the peak days of the fair. This means you won’t have to worry about the traditional closing times; you can seek Baba's blessings at any hour of the day or night.

Special Arrangements for Rangbhari Ekadashi

Rangbhari Ekadashi is the soul of the Khatu Shyam Mela. This is the day when the air in Sikar is thick with Gulal and the chants of "Haare Ka Sahara." To ensure everyone has a smooth experience, the district administration and the temple trust have implemented several new measures:

Wider Queues: The zig-zag barricading has been expanded to ensure people aren't cramped.

Security & Surveillance: Thousands of police personnel and CCTV cameras are being deployed to monitor the crowd 24/7.

Health & Water: Special medical camps and drinking water stations have been set up at short intervals along the route.

A Digital Touch to Tradition

The administration is also focusing on real-time updates for pilgrims. Whether it’s parking information or the estimated waiting time for Darshan, digital boards are being set up to keep everyone informed.

The Lakhi Mela is not just a religious event; it’s an emotional gathering of people from all walks of life. With these 24-hour Darshan windows, the goal is simple: no devotee should have to return without a peaceful glimpse of Baba Shyam’s “Shringar.”
