    Oh hey this is in my neck of the woods. I drive by it every once in a while, it's super impressive. Despite growing up in a very Indian town, I don't know too much about the religion besides a few major gods they have, so I'll probably ask one of my friends to take me one of these days. It's really an incredible complex though.

    A friend lives really near this. Apparently they accept regular people as visitors, but if the visitors aren’t dressed sufficiently modestly they will require wearing supplied robes.
