CHAPTER

Temple Management and Government Oversight in India

This chapter explores the governance of Hindu temples in India, focusing on the establishment of government boards and trusts that manage temple wealth for secular uses. It discusses the historical roots of this control, tracing back to British colonial policies and the post-independence legal framework, highlighting ongoing debates about religious freedom and management equality among different faiths. The chapter also examines recent political movements and the judicial stance that has reinforced government oversight despite calls for greater community management of temples.
