Temples are expensive to maintain. But not all temples have the previledge of being "famous" among the devotees. So, to maintain such temples such things become a necessity. The issue is still about safegaurding(make sure it survives) our identity and values. Unless you and I stand up and safegaurd such treasures of our culture, they have extend their hands in such directions. You dont suggest that temples which cannot look after themselves be done with, do you? -Krishna Alas, the pity of our society. Temples are expensive to maintain.

The reason behind it is pretty similar to why you wont allow strangers into your house. For, a place of worship, just like your home, is not a museum to tour around gawking at it's grandeur. it is rather a place where you seek peace and identity and oneness. -Krishna allowing only hindus is not about secularism. it is more about safegaurding your beliefs and values.

saying it is caste based totally violates what thirupathi and ramanuja stands for.
