Nice and Holly/Sacred place to visit. Usually little bit crowdy during नवरात्रा and Janmashtami ...But overcrowded specially during Mhashivratri(महाशिवरात्रि). You have to stay in long queues to get ur turn to worship the Lord Shiva. To avoid Such rush it's advised to go there after afternoon(1-2Pm). Every God and goddess statue including राधा-कृष्ण, सीता-राम-लखन, माता दुर्गा, सनिदेव जी, बजरंग बालाजी, सत्य साईं जी and many more... It has nice facilities for हवन etc. Almost Every kind of shops are there just outside the temple...
