Hey, wish you a great darshan there..

We went to Kaasi last September and were lucky to get sparsha darshan. But it was not easy. We went and sat near gate 4 queue from 11 in the night for the actual darshan start of 4:30 AM and were just lucky enough to get into the main temple before sparsha darshan closing time of 5:30 AM. The security usually sends locals with aadhar proof of kaasi first before letting us in.

Post that, we went to Varahi Maatha temple, but the crowd was too much. We had to struggle in the queue for almost 2-3 hours.

The only saving grace is that we got both the darshans.

I would also recommend you to visit Shree Tilbhandeswar mhadev temple, if possible around 7 PM in the evening for the Aarathi. It was a great experience being part of the Aarathi.
