It closes in the afternoon for couple of hours. There is rush during morning time, so you might have to wait for some time then.I visited it around noon when it was much emptier. The same stands true for 'Basukinath', another temple usually visited by folks going there. That also sees significant crowd during early daytime before calming down. Basukinath is easily accessible by couple of morning trains going towards there including a 0725 hrs EMU.
