Birla Temple visit

Hey
I guess to start with , its not a bad idea to descibe my visit to the famous Birla Temple in Hyderabad. The temple has it's own charm, dedicated to Lord Venkateshwara.( I being a North Indian googled and found him to be a deity form of Lord Vishnu)
The temple's grendeur and popularity among the locals could well be understood by the 1 hour wait in the queue(though, that's another story that in Hyderabad , weather God being as such, ther best time to move out is just about when we landed there i.e .around 8 pm) Some huge monuments dedicated to the deities and the hectic n ultra hitech city was well visible through the elevated heights of the temple. But really, the very best part of the visit, as i understand was the well managed and controlled organization, right from the juta ghar (place to keep shoes ) to the place where we kept our mobiles and other stuff( yeah, they din't allow mobiles in the premises) . The traffic at that time(for obvious reasons) was huge but really, never ever did the management let go a person without waiting in the line. After having had some really messy experiences in temples in the north, it was sure a pleasant change.
