We
booked
3
AC
rooms
online
with
advance
payment.
ACs
were
working
OK.
AC,
TV
&
STB
remotes
were
all
provided.
However,
the
rooms
stinked
as
soon
as
the
AC
got
switched
off
during
power
cuts,
possibly
from
the
dirty
curtains,
or
printed
synthetic
bed
sheets.
First
hotel
we
saw
in
our
life
which
did
not
provide
clean
starched
white
cotton
bed
sheets.
The
hotel
had
no
restaurant,
but
good
food
were
available
at
JaiGuru
dhaba
on
opposite
side
of
road.
Since
the
dhaba
serves
tasty
food
for
breakfast
lunch
&
dinner,
it
is
quite
favourite
among
locals
and
tourists,
and
food
gets
exhausted
pretty
fast,
so
one
need
to
order
well
in
time.
The
dhaba
run
mainly
by
some
ladies,
serves
veg
as
well
as
all
non-veg
items
like
egg,
fish,
chicken
and
mutton.
The
dal
tarka
was
excellent,
amazingly
tasty
like
real
punjabi
dhabas.
One
can
eat
there
itself
at
seating
arrangements
available,
else
foil
packing
is
also
available
for
take
aways.
The
ISKCON
Temple
main
gate
(Gate-1)
is
approx
only
a
km
away,
easily
walkable
along
the
well
made
stone
road,
not
much
murky
/muddy
even
with
the
intermittent
rains.
Tokens
for
bhog
/prasadam
(lunch)
need
to
be
taken
from
ISKCON
Temple
premises
daily
before
they
get
exhausted.
Bhog
is
served
from
12:30
-
2:00pm
to
thousands
of
devotees
in
various
centers,
as
per
value
of
token
purchased.
We
bought
βΉ120/-
per
head
token,
and
so
had
one
small
ladle
of
payesam
also,
along
with
veg
fried
rice,
dal,
&
sabzi.
The
ISKCON
Temple
premises
is
vast,
but
very
well
maintained.
There
are
various
bhavans
for
devotees
to
stay
on
chargeable
basis,
of
which
Gada
Bhavan
is
the
oldest
and
most
preferred,
but
never
available
online.
There
are
also
some
fast
food
type
stalls
inside
the
compound
maintained
by
ISKCON,
where
food
is
totally
stale,
tastes
rubbish
and
overly
priced.
I
would
advise
everybody
to
stay
away
from
ISKCON
food
anywhere
inside
the
premises.
Good
attraction
are
the
morning
kirtan
(4:00am-5:30am)
&
pujas
and
evening
kirtan
(5:00pm-6:30pm).
There
is
also
the
River
Ganga
Arati
on
boat
from
5:00pm
to
6:00pm
which
devotees
like
to
see.
