A very beautiful place. Strange more people don't know about this place. The architecture is so beautiful and the place is so calm. The place is closed on Friday and Saturday for religious purposes. All other days it is open from 10 am to 5 pm. Here's how you find the gate and enter. The gate is hidden between the street vendors there. You approach and the gate will be closed. The gatekeeper will ask you the reason for your visit and will ask for your Aadhar card, or the photo of it. Otherwise you won't be able to enter. After entering they will open the main hall and you can see the beautiful structures there.
