The first time my son-in-law visited India (er, as someone said at the engagement, he's an American American!) , at certain south Indian temples he was told that if he wore a sindoor "tilak" he would be allowed inside, and he had no problem with this. At others, he was told would be allowed in if he paid Rs. 350 or so..there, he chose to sit outside and wait for us. "Rs.350 seems to be very cheap to embrace Hinduism," he remarked later.
