Durga Temple
EntryFree
An ancient temple of Goddess Durga, painted bright red. It's also called the "Monkey Temple": an entire colony of monkeys lives here.
What's important:
- Monkeys can be cheeky, so keep food and valuables in your bag
- The architecture is impressive, but inside it's cramped and crowded
- You may encounter people asking for alms at the entrance; respond as you see fit
