Where do temple donations go?

When you donate to a temple in India, do you know where the money goes? You think you are donating money to a religious cause, when in reality, you may be giving money to support the temple owner's lavish lifestyle. And, this lifestyle may not have anything to do with religion. We are familiar with one aspect of it, where money raised in religious places has supported terrorists.

Yes, there are temples run by trusts, which put the money to good use. And, there are temples administered by the Government - which ensure that much of the money is put to good use. But there are also temples that are either entirely privately owned, or are joint ventures with the Government, and operate on a revenue-sharing arrangement.

Would you donate to a temple, if you knew that money was going to someone's pocket? If yes, do you try to find out before you donate?
