点评:Do NOT take abhishegam through temple priests. They charged me INR 7,000 and promised me, my wife and my son to sit in front. But on the actual day, I was standing, my son was in row 5, my wife was in row 6. After completing abhishegam, Sri Ram, one of the temple priests who conducted the abhishegam himself demanded me to pay INR 7,000. The charges if you do not sit in front is INR 4,000. I agreed to pay INR 4,000, however Sri Ram claims that I am lying to him saying that I was not placed in the front. This is ridiculous as I would not lie, plus Sri Ram, who is a fraud priest, is cheating me by saying I sat in front. His father, Nataraja, is one of the chiefs in the temple, claims that I was offered a chair but refused. All of this is not true, and all the priests working there are cheating the public, especially foreigners like myself. Moreover, if you go through the proper channel via the temple office, registration is INR 500, whereas abhishegam itself is INR 1000, amounting to INR 1500 (regardless of where you sit).
翻译:不要通过寺庙牧师进行阿布舍加姆(abhishegam)。他们向我收取了 7,000 印度卢比,并答应我、我的妻子和儿子坐在前面。但实际那天,我是站着的,我的儿子在第 5 排,我的妻子在第 6 排。在完成 Abhishegam 后,亲自主持 Abhishegam 的寺庙牧师之一 Sri Ram 要求我支付 7,000 印度卢比。如果您不坐在前面,费用为 4,000 印度卢比。我同意支付 4,000 印度卢比,但 Sri Ram 声称我对他撒谎,说我没有被安排在前面。这太荒谬了,因为我不会撒谎,加上斯里南,一个欺诈牧师,欺骗我说我坐在前面。他的父亲纳塔拉贾 (Nataraja) 是寺庙的酋长之一,声称有人给我一把椅子,但我拒绝了。所有这些都不是真的,所有在那里工作的牧师都在欺骗公众,尤其是像我这样的外国人。而且,如果你通过寺庙办公室的正规渠道,登记是500卢比,而abhishegam本身是1000卢比,总计1500卢比(无论你坐在哪里)。
