Just came back from a quick trip to this place.
Google Navigation helped me to reach Mathura just fine from Gurgaon but reaching the temple itself was a pain in the ass.
Most of the routes were blocked as they have been converted into One Ways to manage traffic. So, had to rely upon local folks to get the directions.
So, most annoying thing on the trip? The road between Sohna and Palwal. 20KM long road had like 50 speed breakers. All of then unmarked. 80% of them badly shaped which required me to tackle them diagonally.
Most amusing thing on the trip? As soon as we entered the temple, a bunch of pandits literally attacked us... Give us the prasad and donations you want to make and we would get it processed at the temple and you can collect them after 15 minutes.
And he went on to warn me to keep an eye on my wallet and phone etc. because of the pickpockets.
Taking photo inside temple is not allowed. Tons of folks were doing so. I tried doing it myself. One of the head pandit noticed it while he was handling the donations etc. And forgot everything and started yelling at me. 😕
I am so going to hell for this:

Anyways. Here are the few snaps I managed to take.
