Full Temple Facade

It was a bit annoying. We found the temple somewhat late in the day and the opening time marked showed that we would only have three quarters of an hour. This was around the corner and out of sight of the building, so we had no idea if it was worth visiting. So we turned to leave. One of the attendants pointed out another sign which actually showed half an hour more opening time. So we paid up and went in. Very shortly thereafter, the caretaker started closing rooms down, and about half an hour later was shooing us out. There were a few of us at that point and so on the way out, we voiced our displeasure at having to leave even before the earlier of the two posted times. I spoke with one of the young people who had persuaded us that we had time to view the temple. At that point, the caretaker came buzzing around the corner on his bike, definitely in the process of taking an early minute. He was halted and sent back, opened the building up for us again, and we got a bit more of a look. It wasn't as peaceful as might other wise have been, and there were some rooms which were not re-opened, but at least it was more of a look.
