Everyone like this Hindu Temple. The Lord Venkateswara statue is one of it's own kind and resembles Balaji statue at Tirumala in India. It's a big crowd for every Hindu festivals.
And the Canteen is also really good and give you homemade taste.

The people...

Sure the Temple is a great place to visit, it is peaceful and interesting, but just make sure you go on a good day because the people there are not the nicest. I took a visit there for a class project and it was very unique and interesting, just the people look at you as an outsider and they can be very rude.
