[Meanwhile, as reported from Muttra,] The “Almighty Dollar” has gate-crashed into Hindu temples in Brindaban, reports the “Pioneer” correspondent. Entry into these temples has for centuries been denied to all except caste Hindus. The ban has now been lifted by certain ‘pujaris’ in favour of American soldiers with a long purse. They are allowed a ‘darshan’ of the deities provided they pay for admission. The rates at present range from Rs.5 to Rs.10.
