Very nice place to visit. No entry fee needed to enter the temple. You need to enter the temple removing shoes. Secure place is there to keep your shoes safe. Washroom/Bathroom also is there for you. All this you can use for free. I visit this place around 6PM. One standard shopping market you can find outside the temple. Car parking available. Read Less
