Visitor reviews
“Went at golden hour, and it did photograph beautifully, to be fair. The neighbourhood talks about it the way you talk about weather.”
“Came straight from the railway station, bags and all. Nobody could tell me when it opens, including the guard.”
“Made it the first stop on a day of Motihari public works. It is a strong contender for 'was going to be'.”
