Agents outside the temple claim to offer VIP darshan by charging extra, but they’re mostly fake and misleading.

Theft Inside Temple
Organized groups target gold, silver ornaments, and purses during crowded darshan hours, especially near idols.
Tip: Carry essentials only, and secure your valuables well.
Honey Trap
Strangers, often women, build trust with solo visitors and later trick them into financial or emotional scams.

Beggar Crowd Trap
Giving money to one beggar invites a large group to surround you, making it difficult to walk away.

Auto/Car Overcharge
Some auto or taxi drivers agree on a fare but demand more later, especially from unfamiliar or tired tourists.
