I have quoted in another thread also....nowadays people's greed has increased enormously and many of them had a false belief that if we go to temples and perform some rituals and spend some money for god, he will be happy and he will grand our wish. Am I not right?
Most of them are just using an alternative to attain some aim/goal in their life. That's why temples are crowdy during religious ceremonies.
Business people are aiming such people to sell their goods. This again increases the crowd of a holy place during festival seasons. Isn't it?

People have notions about holiness of certain places and benefits- real or supposed- resulting from pilgrimage. Every deity has millions of devotees. Also same person may be devoted to more than one deity. Faith in deity also changes like politicians. In the past, people had faith in traditional deities like Rama, Krishna, Shiva and Ganesha etc. Now they have shifted their allegiance to others like Sai Baba and Vaishno Devi. Some visit multiple deities. Some of my relatives and friends visit Sai Baba, Vaishno Devi and Banke Bihari (Vrindavan). Now the craze for Santoshi Maa is less. This was because of movie on that deity. May be 'Amar, Akbar, Anthony' helped Sai Baba with more devotees.

People believe that these deities help them in what they do. This has nothing to do with character. Many believe that the deity will help them earn more money by hook and crook and also save them from police and law. Thus, deities destroy and not build their character.

Often greed and folly go together. Many visit religious places for personal motive of getting money, promotion, son and may be for harming enemy. This is obviously not for character. This is greed. This is also folly.

Friends when someone gambles and drinks, he finds pleasure in doing such work. If you love singing, you sing for your mental satisfaction. Likewise you may dance, cook or do some painting, etc. Going to temple and praying to God is also same for many people. Let people live with which they can remain happy and cool, till anything worst happens.

I never mind or interfere about habits of people going to temples or going to clubs, this is their personal matter which they are entitled to fully and truely. This is only about going to places of religious important when this is too crowded, I avoid to go to such places on such occasions. Otherwise I have also visited many places of religious values as a tourist. I like them for different reasons.

i have crowded places as the crowd make the place ugly and destroy the beauty of the place. There are many reason people approaching holy places. it will differ from person to person.

Be it a religious place or any, crowding is a growing phenomenon in India.We are moving into area which are animal habitats!
