Such an amasing experience to see and live the ceremony there, can see it on screen just few feets from it. Avoir the line, just go to entrance 2 and ask the police officer.

If you go really early (6am you can queue but still expect to wait for hours) Local tour guides play on the fact of long queues and try and get tourists to pay the premium costs,... More

We visited this temple in March 2013. To enter we had to lock our cameras in the locker and we had to take off our shoes. In the previous Hindu temples I had no problem as it was kind of clean, but here you had to cross the street full of cow excrements and pee. In the temple itself it... More

I tried to visit this temple, it is necessary to go through an airport style security screen to enter the area. Monday is the apparently the busiest day & despite help from the guards I was unable to penetrate the crowd & had to retreat in the crush
