    Counting the money

    This is a shot taken inside the Chamundeshwari Temple.

    Chamundeshwari Temple Tower, Chumundi Hills, Mysore, India

    Once every three months the donated money is processed and bundled. Off to the bank I suppose. We were lucky enough to be passing through this area of the temple to be able to grab a few shots of this unique even. Men were counting the bills and the women the coins. The whole operation was being video taped (security I suspect). The bills seem to be small denomination 100 Rupee notes (about $2 in value).

    Pretty crazy that you were allowed in an area to just walk right by them. That's a lot of bills.

    Some of the counting (especially the bills) was done in a fenced off area, but there were huge gaps in the fence to shoot through.

    Coins were counted in some of the open areas as well.

    Unbelievable! Don't they have any private place to count the money? Why in the open?
