Special Note:

  • The temple, ensconced within walls reminiscent of a fort, requires all who enter to undergo security checks—a small earthly procedure before entering a divine realm.
  • Inside the sanctum, capturing the divine through lenses is restricted, encouraging devotees to store their experiences in their hearts rather than their cameras.
