Dilip Menon
A very beautiful temple! Must visit!
KK
This place quite nice to visit. It consists of a lot of glass that very glittering. There are many local people come to pray in their way. Some people lie their body on the floor and pray. Actually, this place didn’t have something special for the tourist but you can go to see the culture of local people. And need to pay the fee before enter.

Completely different from any other Hindu temple I've visited.

It’s a beautiful temple, I’ll give it that. However, the entrance fee is ridiculous, they have 4 different categories of entrance fees.

A good vibe temple. On a hot day, with construction going on around, we went in and had a different feeling, calm and serene. Kaliamman is the main deity. Vishnu and shiva are prayed here. As a broad thinker, they have statues of Budha, sai baba, Christ and Chinese God.
