Beware of guides who are pushy and con-men
金奈卡帕里士瓦尔寺的点评
点评：The temple itself is very impressive and interesting.
HOWEVER
Be on your guard as soon as you approach the temple.
We were about to leave our shoes with all the others outside the temple and some guy says to us "you should not leave them here, your shoes will be stolen". He told us to use the free storeroom.
At the storeroom we were told it costs 100Rs. We thought, that is OK, it's not a lot of money and they are safe.
We then entered the temple and the same guy appears and asked us to follow him to check into the temple. He asked us to sign a book to register as guests. At no point did he say he was a tour guide. He started to talk to us about Hinduism and its beliefs and asking us about where we were from. He seemed like a nice guy just having a chat. He then started to show us around the temple and telling us stuff about it. All very interesting and we started to realise he was going to ask for money.
We were first asked to give some money to be given to feeding the poor in the temple. We thought that's fair enough and the temple ask these guys to guide us to get a donation for the temple's work - fair enough.
The a few minutes later he says that the tour is over and we need to pay at least 2,000Rs each for the tour. We did not pay this much but felt forced into paying something even though we had not asked for a guided tour.
The guy was not happy and followed us all the way out of the temple telling us what terrible people we were for wasting his time.
From reading the reviews here and seeing how this guy was treated in the temple by other staff members it is clear that the temple allow and condone this behaviour.
It left a bd taste in the mouth and if you visit, please either say NO to these "tour guides" as soon as you enter or be prepared to overpay for a short tour.

翻译：寺庙本身令人印象深刻，引人入胜。
然而，
一靠近寺庙就得小心。
我们正要把鞋子和其他人一起留在寺庙外，这时一个人对我们说：“别把鞋子留在这里，会被偷的。” 他告诉我们可以使用免费的储藏室。
到了储藏室，他们告诉我们鞋子要收费100卢比。我们心想，还好，钱不多，而且鞋子很安全。
然后我们进了寺庙，同一个人出现了，让我们跟着他去登记。他让我们在登记簿上签名。他从来没说过自己是导游。他开始跟我们讲印度教及其信仰，还问我们来自哪里。他看起来挺友善的，只是在聊天。然后他带我们参观了寺庙，给我们讲了一些相关知识。一切都很有趣，我们开始意识到他要钱。
我们首先被要求捐一些钱，用于救济寺庙里的穷人。我们觉得这很公平，寺庙请这些人带我们参观是为了募集寺庙工作的捐款——这很公平。
几分钟后，他说参观结束了，我们每人至少需要支付2000卢比的参观费。我们没有付这么多钱，但感觉被迫付了钱，尽管我们没有要求导游服务。
那家伙很不高兴，一路跟着我们出了寺庙，说我们真是太糟糕了，浪费了他的时间。
从这里的评论，以及看到这家伙在寺庙里受到其他工作人员的对待，很明显，寺庙允许并纵容这种行为。
这让人很不舒服，如果你来参观，请一进门就对这些“导游”说“不”，或者准备好为一个短途旅行多付钱。
