Top Attractions in Siwan
💡 Ask the priest (pandit) about the history—he's chatty and speaks some English. No photography inside the sanctum.
💡 The best time is during Durga Puja (September/October) when the temple is decorated with marigolds. Remove your shoes before entering.
💡 Go in the late afternoon when the light is soft. Take water; there are no cafes nearby.
💡 Best in the morning before the station gets crowded. The chai stall on platform 1 does a decent cup for 5 rupees.
💡 Visit at sunrise—you'll see kingfishers if you're quiet. Avoid after dark; it's not well lit.
