Description
The High Temple mound is the center of Indian's religious life. Even to this day during the summer months, people in the surrounding villages come to the Temple to hold the festival of the fire/sun god. There is a park museum that delves deeper into Indian lives by reconstructing an Indian village, displaying artifacts, and other archeological finds.
