More than tourists spot, only temples are so crowded in India. I feel people believe in the power of so-called "GOD" than they believe in themselves and they have ample time to waste standing in long queue and they enjoy being crushed in that.
Iam not an atheist. Iam a person who strongly believes on destiny and the supernatural power that really controls us. But after my recent visits to Tirupathi, Darmastala, Udipi, Kollur now I feel I could pray peacefully at home rather going to these temples.
I appreciate the temple assocation who try to manage the crowd(min 50people/hour visit these temples and it takes min 2 hours to finish the darshan). Still government should take more initiative to preserve and maintain these temples.
especially in Darmastala the temple is maintained in an excellent way and the "anna thana sala" is very neat.
After my visits to different places in last two months I am now wondering is there anything called "Tourism Department" in India. There are no facilities available to the tourists in any of the tourist spots, no proper sign boards, no proper explanation about the history and beauty of the place....
If we could properly maintain our historical buildings/temples and advertise it in the right way India would be the top tourist place. I bet we cant see such an artistic work which is very much complicated in any part of the world.
Hope it happens soon....

Hmm.. i am really impressed by the post... very true.. dharmasthala's history / purana has not been very explicitly written anywhere, since its several centuries old, religious tourism always brings rift, but one good thing about dharmasthala, whether a person has money / not, he goes in the same queue; there is no special treatment and all are equal...
