Surya Kund Ayodhya Laser Show Timings 2026 — Thursday Schedule, Entry & Route

Surya Kund Ayodhya laser show — quick answer

The Surya Kund Ayodhya laser show usually runs every Thursday at 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM. It is held at Surya Kund, also called Surajkund, near Darshan Nagar. Regular entry is normally free, but the schedule can change for rain, maintenance or festival crowd control.

What is the Surya Kund laser show?

Surya Kund is a sacred pond associated with Surya Dev, the Sun God. The evening laser show uses light, sound and projection on the kund area to tell stories connected with Surya worship, Hindu mythology and Ayodhya's ancient sacred landscape.

It is more compact than the Ram Ki Paidi show. That makes it useful for visitors who:

• Are staying near Darshan Nagar
• Want a quieter Thursday evening plan
• Have already watched the main Ram Ki Paidi light show
• Want to combine a local heritage site with a short evening show

Timings today and weekly schedule

Same-day check: Ask your hotel desk, e-rickshaw stand or local tourism counter by afternoon. Outdoor light shows can be cancelled during heavy rain, power maintenance or crowd-control changes.

Ticket price and entry

Regular Surya Kund laser show entry is generally treated as a free public show. Still, carry ₹50–100 in cash because some evenings may use a token queue, parking fee, footwear stand or temporary crowd-management arrangement.

Avoid paying unofficial “VIP entry” charges unless there is a clearly marked official counter or police/tourism notice.

How to reach Surya Kund

If you are returning after the 7:30 PM show, agree on a return pickup or waiting charge before leaving central Ayodhya. Ride availability can be thinner outside the main ghat area at night.

Surya Kund vs Ram Ki Paidi laser show

For a first Ayodhya trip, prioritize the main Ram Ki Paidi light show. Add Surya Kund if you are in Ayodhya on Thursday or want a shorter second show.

Best Thursday evening plan

1. 4:30 PM — Finish temple visits and leave central Ayodhya before the evening rush.
2. 5:15 PM — Reach Surya Kund, walk around the pond and choose a viewing spot.
3. 6:30 PM — Watch the first Surya Kund laser show.
4. 7:00 PM — Return toward Ram Path, dinner or tea break.
5. 8:30 PM — If available that day, watch the later Ram Ki Paidi show.

If you have elderly family members, choose only one show. Doing both can involve waiting, stairs and night transport.

Visitor tips

• Confirm the show locally on Thursday afternoon before planning your evening around it.
• Reach early during winter, Sawan, Ram Navami season and long weekends.
• Use mosquito repellent in monsoon and post-monsoon months.
• Do not lean over the kund railing for photos.
• Keep bags light; temple-style security checks may be used on crowded evenings.
• Pair this with the Ayodhya 1-day itinerary only if your day is not already crowded.

FAQ

Is Surya Kund laser show available today?
If today is Thursday, it may run at 6:30 PM and 7:30 PM. Confirm locally because outdoor shows depend on weather and operations.

What is the correct spelling — Surya Kund or Surajkund?
Both names are commonly used in searches. Locally, people may understand “Surajkund” or “Surya Kund Darshan Nagar.”

Is photography allowed?
General phone photography around the kund is usually allowed, but avoid flash during the show and follow any security instruction on the day.

Should I book online?
There is no consistently reliable online booking flow for regular Surya Kund Thursday shows. Treat it as a local, same-day experience.
