According to @TejasBalapalli Ugadi is not a Hindu festival. Same nonsensical propaganda again and again. Yes, Ugadi marks a shift. But how is that shift calculated and its celebration determined every year? It is based on the Panchangam, which uses five parameters: 1.Tithi (lunar day) 2.Vaar (weekday) 3.Nakshatra (star) 4. Yoga 5.Karana Ignoring the science and methodologies that come from the Vedas, and then calling it a “secular” festival, only shows the level of so-called scientific temper among present-day libergandus. #HappyUgadi

I don't know about Baidyanath, but in most temples, paid darshan only saves time as the queue is shorter. The quality of darshana is the same in the general & VIP queues, which merge before the garbhagriha. The only solution is to define carrying capacity & enforce strict caps on footfall. But that's not palatable to most people... as yet.
