For an immersive cultural and spiritual experience, the ideal time to visit Maa Budhi Thakurani Temple is during the biennial Thakurani Yatra Festival. This grand festival is one of the most significant in Berhampur and attracts devotees from across the country. It usually takes place in the month of Chaitra according to the Hindu calendar, which falls around March or April in the Gregorian calendar. This period also corresponds to the spring season, offering pleasant weather that is conducive to participating in the festivities and rituals that are abundant during the festival.
Aside from the festival, the temple can be visited throughout the year due to Odisha's tropical climate, which generally features hot summers, a monsoon season, and mild winters. However, for those looking to avoid heat and rain, the months of October to February offer a more comfortable climate with less humidity and cooler temperatures. This time also coincides with several other Hindu festivals and auspicious days celebrated with vigor at the temple, hence giving visitors an opportunity to experience the temple's vibrant atmosphere.
