About
Fantastic site to visit - unimaginable architechture, great theme show, diaorama and I max presentation. If any tourist, irresepctive of his religion or creed, has half a day to spare, this is a must see. It is one man's creation in five years totally with voluntary support. A monument which makes every indian proud!

Beautiful Temple
Jan. 2023
Amazing temple with unforgettable sights. The temple complex is quite large but well worth a visit. Make sure to walk around the elephant plinth.

Extreme entry prohibitions for maximized rip-off
Jan. 2023
Having to remove your shoes (and sometimes even your socks) before entering some filthy facility is a staple in India. This place puts another extreme spin on the insanity, so do check the visitor information section of the website before you visit, as it will save you a lot of frustration. We visited spontaneously, got ripped off by the riksha hawkers operating between the metro station and the compound (my mother suffers from COPD, so walking was not an option), and eventually decided not to enter once we learned about the different prohibitions, dress code, etc. This was my most frustrating experience in India. They prohibit mobile phones, so you can't take a photo, but of course they have their own photographers who will take your photo and then sell you the print (not the jpeg file, the print, in 2023). If you ever wondered, you are of course welcome to take your money with you, as there are ample opportunities within the complex to spend it. Even the boys from the Vatican could come and take courses from these guys on the true essence of all religions: how to maximize revenue from the gullible masses.

Largest temple of India
Jan. 2023 • Family
Good place to visit. Vast area of construction. Other than temple it has 3 more visiting places of visuals and sculpture related to Nilkanth and Indian sages. One must experience Nauka Vihar. One can also stop at food court to taste different eateries.
