Regrettable Visit to Nathdwara Temple at Udaipur

Shame on Udaipur Tourism
8th October, 2014, I regretted my visit to Nathdwara Temple in Udaipur. I succumbed to the Tourism propaganda about the place. I narrowly escaped stampede. The priests managing the temple have drawn a four hourly timetable like the doctors’ four-hourly dose of medicine to make the devotees have view of the idol of Lord Krishna. It is being done to create artificial unmanageable crowd to cash the view. Touts in priest uniform offer their services for ‘Darshan’ through VIP rows. Vehicular roads that lead to the temple are too narrow to let pass two at a time. Besides, the dingy roads are repugnant enough to dissuade any tourist for any ‘darshan of the Lord.  
Final regret for the visit was the view of the common dining hall for human beings, dogs, pigs, insects and the sacred cows of Lord Krishna.
