Before you plan your darshan
Parli Vaijnath Temple is open throughout the year. Maharashtra Tourism recommends October to February for pleasant weather and highlights Mahashivratri and Shravan as especially important pilgrimage periods with much larger crowds.
Best time of day to visit
On ordinary days, arriving earlier can help you avoid part of the daytime rush. On Mondays, Shravan days, Mahashivratri and other special occasions, allow significantly more time for queues, security and local traffic.
What makes the temple special?
Maharashtra Tourism describes the shrine as one of India's revered Jyotirlingas and notes a distinctive tradition: devotees are allowed to touch the Jyotirlinga while offering prayers. The stone temple stands on an elevated site and is associated with traditions linked to Lord Shiva as Vaijnath or Vaidyanath.
Getting there
Parli has its own railway station. Government tourism information lists the station around 3 km from the temple in its Jyotirlinga leaflet. Regular State Transport buses also serve Parli.
