Its riverside position makes it one of the easier Aditya shrines to combine with an early boat ride, since a sunrise visit here lines up naturally with the sun-worship theme the temple is named for.
Like the rest of the twelve-shrine circuit, it's chiefly sought out by pilgrims following the Kashi Khand's sun-tradition deliberately rather than casual visitors to the ghats.
A sunrise stop here pairs well with a boat ride that also covers Adi Keshava and the quieter northern ghats.
