Oh yes, anyone can visit. There may be areas where only devotees can enter, and you must, of course, respect local customs (no shorts!), but these temples are welcoming to anyone who wants to visit.
I must say that your photos really describes the beauty of the Hindu Temple. I actually admired Hindus for their beliefs in mind and body concentration, this is only my theory i guess. I just wonder if this place is open for all religions to visit to? for me it looks like paradise, and i want to be there.
Great pictures! Brings back some fantastic memories of my travels in Asia.
