Indians are god fearing people. Hindus have 33 crore gods. So for every 2 Indian Hindu we have one god. Any problem in life Indians try to find spiritual / religious solution. Promotion, marriage, business, wealth, house, etc for all problem areas there is one or the other god designated to take care. No doubt religion / caste plays important role in politics. You will find godman with a copyright on some or the other god.
Religion / God / temple is a big business in India. Here are some statistics
Tirupati: The Tirupati temple at Andhra Pradesh gets visits from over 60,000 devotees every day. The temple gets up to Rs 650 crore in donations every year. The gold on the deity itself is 1000 kg!
Saibaba Temple, Shirdi: It sees millions of devotees from different religions and castes everyday. The temple has gold and silver jewellery worth approximately Rs 32 crore and silver coins worth more than Rs 6 lakh. The temple gets donations worth Rs 350 crore every year.
Siddhivinayak, Mumbai: This is one temple frequented by commoners and celebrities alike. The income of this temple including donations goes upto Rs 48 crore every year. The dome over Ganesha is coated in 3.7 kilos of gold that was donated by a businessman.
The Golden temple, Punjab: The holiest shrine in the Sikh religion has its walls decorated with wooden panels and elaborate gold and silver work. The palanquin that bears the Adi Granth is set with precious stones and has a golden canopy supported by silver poles. This holy place gets as many as 40,000 visitors a day.

Deool (temple) is a story of Keshya a god loving (not fearing) man. One day he has an hallucination that he saw Datta (Brahma, Vishnu & Mahesh together) outside his village while taking a nap under a tree. This news spreads like fire. Politicians and villageers decide to take advantage of the situatio. They divert funds meant for hospital to build temple. This temple slowly becomes flourishing business. Every villager starts a stall outside village. Money comes in the small village, simple lives of villagers changes.Whole village becomes part of the corrupt system except Keshya. Keshya realises that god must be suffocating in such an environment and he needs to be set free. He steals god's stone idol from the temple and immerses it in a river.
The film won National award for Best film, Best Actor (Girish Kulkarni) & Best Dialogues (Girish Kulkarni).
MUST SEE.
