A temple so magnificent !!
Apr 2022
Magnificent temple with beautiful wall paintings/murals of Hindu mythological Gods and Goddesses..!! An Elephant inside the temple is made to go around the sacred sanctum sanctorum every evening as a religious ritual , with hymns and religious music played by temple priests ... a treat to watch !!

the only temple in white town

Famous temple a must visit - the only temple or any other religious area in the old French quarter of the town. The elephant just walks in to the temple for the morning prayers through the not-so-tall looking temple gates its a must watch sight
