In our tradition, we can allot any role to god - king, beloved, wards or any form e fancy. We like giving gifts to those in authority, loved ones and friends, sometimes with expectations of a returned favour and sometimes just for our pleasure. Abhishekam and archanai are for our satisfaction and 'his'. Atmavichara is for intellectuals; for the lesser mortals, it is faith, bhakti and rituals; till they feel अहं निर्भरः

In the past wealth accumulated by famous temples was looted away by the (?) invaders; today, by the government. Anyway, accumulated wealth will always fall in the wrong hands.
