Nice place and well organized. But the Priest was rude. We didn't see a notice that photograph is not alloweded, Priest rudly told us this is not a garden that you are taking photos. He could have been little polite.

Nice place for Hindu Community to Share and Pray.Definite place for young children to learn cultural values of India.

The person there was very very rude especially being in such a friendly and polite country. I would have named him here if I knew his name. He gave us apples and was talking rudely to us for having the apples in front of the idol. The irony of giving us apples in front of the idol and talking rudely for having those apples in front of the idol is just humorous. I do not intend to hurt any religious believes by saying this but being rude to a person for eating apple in front of an idol is not the way to do it. The person who has done it would not have done so if they knew they were not supposed to do it. As a person you are supposed to tell him that you should not have the apple in front of the idol politely and not say that you should have some manners being a human. The tone and the way it was said gave me shame in going here. Hope people read this review and understand how it is before going there so that they don't make the same mistake of having the apple in front of the idol.

Poorly managed. Opening hours are not reflected correctly on Google. I traveled all the way from Ashburton only to find it was not open. Also no one answered the bell or phone. I would recommend people not to go by the posted hours online.
