Atala Mosque

I would like to give 4 stars to this mosque formerly known as Atalaa Devi Temple..nActually the carvings on the walls of the mosque and the artefacts inspired by these Hindu culture are very breathtaking and pleasing.nIt looks like a mosque, but the image of the temple is still clearly visible in it.
