    his temple was incredible and beautiful, with so much to see - we spent hours in there, much more than we expected. If you are a foreign tourist, we would absolutely recommend getting Raj as a tour guide (details attached). He was really helpful in explaining the history of the temple and the cultural significance and religious occurrences within the temple. It made the visit really entertaining and felt like no time passed!
