The short answer
When to go to Tuljapur
November to February is the best window, with dry weather, daytime highs around 31 to 33 degrees and cool mornings that suit early darshan. March to May is very hot, and stone floors, queues and open forts become tiring. June to September brings monsoon rain and slippery steps. Navratri in September or October and the Chaitra yatra in April bring extreme crowds, which are hard on seniors even when the weather is comfortable.
