Nov 17, 2008 Beautiful and fascinating temple. It looks quite kitsch with the vast array of colour and unfathomable amount of statues. I went in the morning which is usually a good time for temple visits, however I found that for photography it wasn't good and a trip later in the day would be recommended. The sun just isn't in the right spot in the morning to be able to pick up any of the colour or detail of the temple.
