Shri Khatu Shyam Temple, Lucknow

Khatu Shyam Mandir in Lucknow, located on Birbal Sahani Marg in the Old Haidarbad Colony area, close to Hanuman Setu Mandir. The temple is set inside a huge pandal, and as you walk through the centre of the pandal, the view of the temple becomes visible from quite a distance. Even during heavy crowd hours, the darshan is possible comfortably because of the open view structure.

Before entering the temple, you will find Prasad shops on the left side, and on the right side there are shops for religious accessories, temples, and other devotional items. The entry and exit system is very well-organized — one side entry and the other side exit, which helps in crowd management and ensures smooth darshan for everyone.

The darshan of Shyam Baba’s idol is breathtaking, and the puja rituals are performed with great devotion. Devotees can participate in various rituals, such as offering prayers, performing aarti, and seeking blessings.
