Definitely put money into the Ghanesh statue (the elephant one) you will hear Indian style music playing… very nice actually.

It takes about 30-45mins to explore the entire cave and is a nice activity for a hot afternoon when the sun outside is scorching hot.

Entrance is free, donations are optional. This is an active temple, don't forget to...
