Read moreThis place is overhyped by many vloggers. This is no where near to the original temple. Parking people are just to collect 50. They are arrogant villagers, look like rowdy sheeters. I parked the vehicle in the plot next to the temple area, they were using harsh language to remove the car and park inside the temple area only, where there was huge line for parking. I asked them to collect 50 and will leave the car as it is in the current place, but did not agree and made me to park the car in temple plot where it took me 15 mins to join the line and get it parked. Temple surrounding, including temple, is not at all well maintained. Sand, dust, garbage can be seen in the temple premises. Do not go on weekends, it is crowded. It will take 1 hour in darshan line on weekends and 30 mins on weekdays. Might take longer than this if it is holiday time for Schools. Temple is built in very minimal space. To be honest, I personally didn't not feel that spiritual or pleasant state of mind as we do when we visit a temple. Vegetable shops, falooda, ice cream, pop corn, murmura, cool drink stalls were there within the temple plot. I spoke to them, they were also complaining about the villagers who were handling the parking tickets. These stall people have to pay 500 rupees to the villages on daily basis to stay there and sell their products. 15000 rupees per month, that's a lot of money to rent in such remote area and that to open land. I am not sure who the owners or the management are, they have to look in to this issue. I would suggest rather go for jaganath temple in bollaram or banjara hills. I hope the management will take care of all these issues and construct proper...
