How it works
At Jagdish Temple — Udaipur's most prominent Hindu temple — and at smaller lakeside shrines including Ambamata Temple and Eklingji Temple (18 km north), self-appointed priests or individuals posing as temple staff approach visitors, apply a tilak (forehead mark) without asking permission, recite a brief blessing, then demand a substantial donation ranging from ₹500 to ₹2,000. Refusing after the ritual has begun invites aggressive pressure, claims of bad luck, or public embarrassment.
