Yes, I agree with Sri Nacchinarkiniyanji on this point.

Payment of money starts at the entrance. You will have to pay the
watchman for safe-keeping of the slippers. This is the starting point.

The priest allows you to stay at the sanctum santorum a little longer if
you show him some currency notes.

The Temple Administrators collect some money from the devotees if they
want to have close darshan.

We have fallen very badly !
