Many devotees have questioned whether special darshan should be limited to those who can afford the fee, while others face long queues. Critics argue that the move creates an imbalance, giving the affluent easier access while marginalizing poorer devotees.
The issue has drawn attention to concerns about unequal treatment in religious spaces.
