  Very nice temple and atmosphere. But priests inside temple are very noisy and lot of disturbance while doing prayers. The bring their family and children to temple and all attention goes on running after the child. The lady (not sure if its priest wife) is very rude, has no manners at all when she talks. When I went there was no priest at first, she was feeding the child in the table where charanamrit and Prasad was kept and she was giving Prasad to devotees with the same hand. The priest came after a while and another priest came in 5 mins. after. They should have taken turns instead of going out at the same time. The child and the lady were making so much noise. After the priests came the noise became double and all were talking loudly non stop, while the child was screaming. I don't think I will come back or recommend it to anyone.

  The atmosphere is very peaceful. I came in to do my prayers and ended up staying for over an hour because it was so pleasant.

  I attended this temple when it was in it's old location in the plaza. I must say that the new building is beautiful. I'm impressed with how much space there is to walk around and there's a gorgeous murti of Lord Ganesha to greet you when you come in the front door.

  I have been visiting this temple for past 3 years, it has changed so much in last few months. Temple is really beautiful and altar décor has improved a lot. But as someone rightly said, priests need to be more responsible and duty conscious. I also observed like other devotees, the child running all over the main altar, and the priest wife chasing the child with bunch of peacock feathers. There was too much noise inside the altar and she carried the child downstairs and started feeding food inside the kitchen although there are strict rules the no temple kitchen allows anyone to eat inside. Earlier there was a Nepali priest, he was excellent and maintained thorough discipline and sanctity in the temple. If nothing else, at least safety of the child should be of prime concern.
