note: as this topic came up in another thread i thought it would be appropriate to know more details and put some insight. As far as I know many times the committe members decide from their own language to bring in these guys. if temple is dominated by tamil then u see tamil guys and much tamil sampradaayams in temple. now usually they are paid about $800 to $1000 per month with accomdation. They are NOT allowed to take any dakshiNalu in temple premises. They must go to any vratams or functions if someone wants to do it in private. All checks must be written on temple's name. these days they are allowing some 20% tips on such private visits. more info is appreciated dESam eltunna anna anandamlO unna. |
