The short answer
When to go to Modhera
The best months are November to February, when the days are dry and mild and the open-air complex is comfortable at any hour except the middle of the day. Temperatures are taken from Ahmedabad, about 100 km away, so Modhera itself may differ slightly. March and October are workable with an early start. April to June is very hot and shade is scarce, and July to September is humid with heavy rain. For older travellers, arrive at opening time in any season and plan a rest straight afterwards.
