You may be asked for a donation when visiting the temples. The first time I was asked was when I was about to climb up on the viewing platform that lets you look over the Lingaraj Temple as non-Hindu's are not allowed inside. He had a book with values like Rs500 and Rs200 in it which I thought was a bit too much to just view the temples and not to actually visit them but I gave him Rs100 (which looking back and reading Lonely Planet is still a bit too much). Another occasion where I was asked for a donation was in the Papanasinee Complex which lie very near to the viewing platform. A young lad in a black coat came over to me and said that he was a priest. I laughed and said that he was no more a priest than I was! He again had a donation book with similar values as the guy before had in his. I thought that this was going to cost me a tidy sum if it was going to happen everywhere so I didn't give him a donation and took some photo's much to his disgust. Well, he just didn't look much like a priest, in my opinion.
