Very nice temple of Lord Ganesha .The Aditya birla Pvt. Ltd company was made this temple in 1980. The fabulous example of marble material architecture.

Shree Vikram Vinayak Ved Vidyalaya, a great institution created and maintained by the Aditya Birla Group for spreading the wisdom of Vedas for generations to come.

First thing tourists come from far way and then security check. And There is only 1 person for checking. If u r doing security check for ladies. Then there should be lady only not man for ladies checking. And the person standing outside for checking is very rude. Not having manners how to talk with people. Bad experience. No stars at all
