I had to sit in front of the temple for an hour waiting for my sister. A vantage point to watch people. I also saw a few almost near accidents with bullock carts , bulls, goats, people, trucks, autos, bicycles, cycle rickshaws, trucks and buses competing for space.keep left? keep right ? no close our eyes and walk!
