I am not aware of the political boundaries of church and state, but my guess is these temples are not subsidized by the government, thus, it is a major burden on the population, assisted by us, tourists, to maintain these structures.
One of the more unusual and outstanding of the temples was "The White Temple."
I was able to hang out with the architect for a couple of minutes.
I could give you all day to guess what this building is, but you wouldn't guess.
The toilets. No street shoes allowed. Use the community slippers. Bear in mind, you are in a different culture. There is no right and wrong. It is all a matter of conditioning. There were westernized toilets provided, of course.
The lunches were, most always, a delightful experience. We had a local travel agent that booked all our accommodation and meals and she did an outstanding job. Here are three views of our lunch the day of the visit to the White Temple.
