Ideal for detail shots of gilded metalwork, historic textiles and the museum’s colonial interiors. Visit early morning or late afternoon for softer light and smaller crowds; avoid major pujas. Modest dress and shoes off may be required; security and small entry fee apply. Limited parking—combine with a Temple visit and plan 1 hour.
