Year‑Long Access Remains, Night Worship Extended to Midnight

Shri Budha Amarnath, a revered Shiva shrine in the Mandhi tehsil of Poonch district, continues to stay open throughout the year, offering unrestricted access to devotees. This Shravan season, the temple administration has extended night worship hours, allowing pilgrims to remain inside the complex until 12 midnight after the 7 PM Aarti.

The temple's 24‑hour langar ensures that hungry pilgrims are fed at any hour. The extended timings were introduced after the temple committee observed that thousands of devotees were gathering daily, with more than two thousand visiting on a single Sunday. The changes aim to provide a comfortable and uninterrupted spiritual experience for all worshippers.
