- Hemant VarshneyNew Delhi, India136 contributionsWe visited during the month of April 2023. It was very hot as compare to North India. We were told that temple will be closed at 12 noon and it will re open at 4 PM so we have to visit before that. Lots of guides are available outside the temple, not sure if they are registered with government or not. They charged us INR 2000 for four of us for VIP Darshan. One can say that if you are visiting temple they why going via VIP channel, but on the other hand if you have limited time you have to take these advantages. One person escorted us to the temple and helped us in darshan. In side the temple atmosphere was very. A different kind of feeling we had. Pujari did Pooja for us and we were able to perform pooja from very near to the Meenakshi Amma Murti. You need at least one hour to visit every part of the temple even if you are taking VIP facility, so plan accordingly.Written 1 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

eye elusive paintings on roof, Equally distanced, a marvel of architecture, you can not believe these were made at that era when no modern building equipment was available.

Its a uphill walk and we went in April with 2 kids aged 10 and 12! but was totally worth it. There is a legend about the fresh water spring here - Noopurgana. The devi darshan was very nice. Beware of monkeys... dont carry anything other than your basic sling bag or bag pack - the monekys are very fast to snatch anything else....:-). Worth the visit and the walk!Written 14 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- ShaanuVR53 contributionsIt's a ok ok mall with a small food court. You can find some branded and non-branded showrooms inside the mall.
The mall staff are very friendly (security team, house keeping team).
It has a mother's room which is useful for lactating mothers (but it has only a cloth screen to close and they have kept a water dispenser near that cloth screen, so it feels less privacy. Better to change the water dispenser location to another place).
They have provisions for centralized AC, but still it doesn't provide proper temperature, so it is very hot inside the mall.
Food inside this mall is costly and some vendors are doing day light robbery. They (The scoopp shop) have one price in the menu card but they are charging more and they don't have proper answer if we question about the billing. As many are not questioning them, they are robbing in day light.Written 26 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
