If we talk about Vrindavan, then this place is considered to be the most sacred place among the temples of Lord Krishna. On the special occasion of Janmashtami, devotees from far and wide come here to visit.
At the same time, it is advisable to be cautious before coming here, because many cases of scams have been seen with devotees every day. Where they are robbed of money in the name of worship. If you are planning to come here, then you should know some things so that you can avoid scams happening in Vrindavan. Let’s know.

Visit the temple yourself

If you are going to Vrindavan for the first time, be careful of the taxi drivers. Because they think of trapping the new tourists after seeing them. When you get down from the taxi, visit the temples of Vrindavan on your own. Do not take help from anyone. If you take help from the taxi driver, then he/she will take you to the same temple where the priest is known to him/her and a lot of money will be swindled from you in the name of offerings.
