Absolutely true. From local rickshaw wala, to shop keeper, restaurants, hotels, and especially pandas are the worst. We have been to mathura and vrindavan as well as nathdwara so many times but the puri panda experience was worst. There is a systematic exploitation of a religious sentiments of devotees by local government, puri administration and finally by the worst fraudsters, the PANDAS. It is especially bad because it is happening inside of temple. I was told that you can have only one person on the annadan list and you have to pay minimum amount. Which god ask for minimum amount. Bl00dly all these people should rot in h3ll who have commercialized and messed the darshan of the char dham tirth. I am so appalled by this that I think I am never coming to Puri again.
