Durga Temple can see a lot of monkeys, it is best not to bring valuables when visiting, because you must empty your pockets, put all wallets and mobile phones at the door, in a very worn locker, in the secret room with a sign prohibiting photography, But locals don’t follow this.

The temple of Durga is similar in its structure design to the Golden Temple. It is considered one of the most sacred temples in the city and dates back to the 16th century. The incarnations of the various goddesses Durga are a remarkable feature of this wonderful shrine. One of the features of this temple is that it does not follow the typical style of ancient temple architecture, and it itself shows an unusual stateliness and elegance.
