点评:Visiting this temple was no doubt a divine expreience with one of the main attractions was to reach the sanctum (garbh-gruh) through a small 3 steps stair in semi-standing/sitting position and performing the abhishek. It is a small sanctum which is just 3 ft high. During early morning hours crowd is very less, but it increases exponentially as the day progresses. You get to perform Abhishek throughout the day.
What saddens me is the nexus the local pandits are running with the security guards and taking away the temple earnings by luring the devotees with hefty charges at the entry to the temple with exclusive express visits to sanctum and performing abhishek rituals. These pandits will initally inform the devotees about providing temple receipts for express visits and abhishek and post performing the same will take payment and nothing goes to the temple which is a big racket running at Aundha Naganath. I too got conned the similar way. Another bad experience is about few people such as miscelleneous pandits, the cleaning & housekeeping staff, some beggars inside the temple premise openly troubles devotees for money and making their overall experience sad. I request local authorities to take note of this unscrupulous practices and stop it and help in making the visiting devotees experience better. Infact if the temple trust regularises these rituals and express visits through official bookings online/offline, the earnings will help create better facilities in and around the temple and also creating a good experience for devotees.
翻译:参拜这座寺庙无疑是一次神圣的体验,其中最吸引人的地方之一,便是要半站半坐地,通过三级台阶进入圣殿(garbh-gruh),并进行圣水沐浴仪式(abhishek)。圣殿很小,只有三英尺高。清晨时分人烟稀少,但随着时间的推移,人流会呈指数级增长。你可以在一天中的任何时间进行圣水沐浴仪式。
令我感到痛心的是,当地的祭司与保安人员勾结,以高额费用引诱信徒进入寺庙,声称可以快速进入圣殿并进行圣水沐浴仪式,从而侵吞寺庙的收入。这些祭司一开始会告诉信徒,可以提供快速进入圣殿和圣水沐浴仪式的寺庙收据,但仪式结束后,他们会收取费用,而寺庙却分文未得。这在奥恩达·纳加纳特(Aundha Naganath)是一个普遍存在的骗局。我也曾被以同样的方式欺骗过。另一个令人不快的经历是,一些不法之徒,例如杂务祭司、清洁工和一些乞丐,在寺庙内公然骚扰信徒索要钱财,严重影响了他们的朝圣体验。我请求地方当局关注并制止这种不道德的行为,帮助改善信徒的朝圣体验。事实上,如果寺庙管理委员会规范这些仪式,并通过线上/线下官方渠道进行快速预约,所得收入将有助于改善寺庙内外的设施,同时也能提升信徒的朝圣体验。
