    The temple itself is very well maintained, beautiful, and peaceful in its design, and it is clear…read morethat a lot of care goes into the space. Unfortunately, the overall experience is often disrupted by behavior that simply does not belong in a place of worship. Many of the priests regularly sit on the steps with their backs to the deity, blocking the view of the Gods, engaging in loud conversations with people they know, which is extremely distracting for devotees. On multiple occasions, some priests have been observed taking personal phone calls while seated there, with their backs turned, engaging in casual video and phone conversations with friends or family. A few times, I have even noticed a priest sitting on the steps near the Shiva lingam, absent-mindedly picking his nose, surrounded by devotees deep in prayer. This is not about expecting perfection, but about maintaining basic decorum and respect in a sacred space. Additionally, several families allow their children to run freely inside the temple, treating it like a play area. Many people come here seeking silence, focus, and comfort, often while dealing with difficult personal situations or serious health issues. The constant noise and uncontrolled movement take away from that experience. I genuinely hope the management addresses these concerns by setting clear expectations for priest conduct within the sanctum and reminding families to supervise their children. With better enforcement of basic decorum, this temple could offer a far more meaningful and peaceful experience for everyone.
