One of the best architecture of northern India.
This needs maintenance & upkeep.

"This rating is not about the holy place but the "priest" who's handling the management of this beautiful place.

Mr. Priest is such a money minded greedy person and thus calling him a "priest" itself is a shame to this beautiful religion. He talks like some ultra rich businessman appointed to "extort" money from you in the name of your special day.

I went with my fiance for our modest prewedding shoot which at first was denied that it was not allowed but within a few seconds he was asking us for a "donation" in the form of approval fees.

Donation as it means is for something you "willingly offer" but honourable priest is there to put a "minimum" price tag of a whopping 5000₹ to it ! When I said I'm ready to offer 2100₹ as a "donation" he started to debate on my occupation and salary that the amount is too less for me to pay since I must be earning a handsome amount and since it's my wedding I'll be spending so much why not "donate" here ? Seriously, you are commenting on someone's occupation for pulling out money from them !

As per him, 5000₹ is such a small amount from the place he comes from! Seems like Mr. Trump's tariff board member is appointed as a priest. As per him he'll be in "trouble" for accepting anything less than 5000₹, is that how religious places are managed ?

I gave an example of a daily wage earner who is willing to "donate" ₹51 since that is something he can afford, will he be mocked out of the place ? It was stun silence on his face then. Disappointing conversation for a man of his stature!

The place is absolutely stunning beautiful and should be a world heritage site since it's about a 150 years old monument. The place is really peaceful, green, clean and well maintained.

In the name of God, kindly get Mr Priest removed from such an important position since he represents not only that holy place but this peaceful respected religion as well."

"If you want access - go between 9 to 11 on Sunday mornings. Carry an identity card as the church is enclosed within a defence area. The church is well preserved but is a functioning religious place - do not click photographs inside or step in without permission."
