Start at Lotus Temple in Bahapur, South Delhi, around 10:30–11 a.m.; it’s generally open Tuesday through Sunday, with winter hours roughly 9 a.m.–5:30 p.m. (last entry can be earlier, so check before setting out). Entry is free, though queues may be longer on New Year’s Day. Leave shoes at the counter, keep the prayer hall quiet, and allow about 1½ hours. A cab or auto to ISKCON Temple in East of Kailash usually takes 10–20 minutes, depending on traffic.
Spend about 1½ hours at ISKCON Temple, then have lunch at Govinda’s inside the temple complex; budget around ₹300–600 per person. The temple’s public visiting hours can have a midday break, and the restaurant keeps its own service hours, so check both before you go. Aarti times vary by service and day—ask at the temple desk whether one falls during your visit rather than planning around it. January 1 can bring extra visitors, so allow a little slack.
Take a cab from East of Kailash to Lodhi Garden (about 20–30 minutes in ordinary traffic) for a gentle 1½-hour walk among the gardens and historic tombs; entry is free, and the gates generally follow daylight hours. In winter, aim to arrive by mid-afternoon to enjoy the grounds before dusk. Then continue by cab to Gurudwara Bangla Sahib in Connaught Place, usually 20–30 minutes away. It’s open around the clock; cover your head (scarves are available), remove your shoes, and visit the sarovar respectfully. Give yourself roughly 1½ hours, and check locally if you’d like to join the community meal.
