    You can take your mobile phone or camera phone inside the temple. There is a charges of Rs.50 for DSLR or optical camera. At the end don't forget to sit and relax on the pond stairs. Photos attached!

    For Hindus only - Get a 100 rupees special Darshan ticket and pray to Mother to send you a nice pandit to take you inside ... Give 500 rupees dakshina. Sit inside for sometime to soak in the vibration

    Take pictures of the four tall gates. Walk around from the outer areas going towards the inner portions. Check the pillar and wall carvings.

    Beautiful detailing although the emphasis is more internal than external. Leave your phones home.

    とカメラ、携帯電話を預ける必要があります。モバイルWi-Fiもバッテリーもチェックされました。中は荘厳でポップで、多くの人に愛されてる寺院だと実感できます。是非体験してほしい場所です。
