Certainly worth visiting, certainly... But on every occasion, you have to pay additional entry fees depending on the parts you want to see. In summer they did forbid the ladies and even children to go in with uncovered arms and legs. As a 'handy solution' they suggested to buy multiple scarfs on their stand, so we would be able to...

All I can say it is a beautiful place, you have to witness it as it can't be described in words. Just try to be early in the morning to avoid much rush
