Temple administration in India needs transparent guardrails rather than opaque authority or ad hoc intervention. Religious property, offerings, and management practices require clearer rules so that accountability improves and conflict declines.
The issue sits at the intersection of faith, institutional autonomy, and public oversight. Major temples that function as public-facing institutions need norms that protect devotees' interests while limiting arbitrary control.
