    You might want to aim for 7:30 8 pm on a weekday; most people have left by then and the temple’s lighting is already on, making the lingam easier to see. If you stay at Le Méridien Mahabaleshwar Resort & Spa, the walk to the temple is just over a mile, so you can hop in after the main prayers and still enjoy a quiet stroll to Venna Lake before the lights fully brighten.
