You are looking for some nice soothing place and a beautiful statue of Lord Shiva, this is the place then. Good lighting in the evening and can sit and relax. The temple people has made it more as a marketing place rather than temple. They will always try to pull money from you for entrance, special darshan and almost everything. Though you can enter by telling them you want to have Normal darshan. Only then they charge Rs5 per head for keeping footwear.
