One of good temples complex that have good parking lot and wide area for moving around. Many beautiful temples, some are bigger than other. You can go inside and see the statues and reliefs. It's also actively used as a praying area so the tourist better keep a comfortable distance. It's also strategic with many shops in town and can be reached by walk or bicycling.
