The 1 Star is solely for the reasons that women do not tie their hair and leave it falling free…read more Everybody knows the piousness of putting your hair up in the Hindu sense of way. There's a reason!!! A temple is a place of devotion not fashion. Women: put your hair up, tie it up, use a garter or clips to put it in a knot. It's only for a few minutes. Show some value to our scriptures!!!!! The management doesn't do anything cause I've highlighted it for them several times!! They don't want to offend donors! They would rather placate the visitors than speak up to the austere reasons!!!!! One sees women respect the tradition and cover their hair/head at the Masjid, and similarly at the Gurdwara. Why can't we shed our vanity for a few minutes. If the board and the people who lead services can fix this, then they have done their duties to adhering to scriptures in the true sense!

The first chamber is the main entry. The second room is where she awaits her devotees all decked up, and the back chamber is where there is a Shiv Ling and holds space for group recitations.

I hope the city can take care of this because it's a recurring issue, and as I said, I wish they at least notify that those events are coming then we can be prepared and take uber those days to secure our parking spaces!!!!!!
