Claim: The video shows the priests removing donation boxes and telling the officials first to bring the donations of the churches and mosques.
Fact-check: The incident in this video is from 2015; There was no mention of a church and mosque in the video - FACTLY
Verdict: the video was taken in 2015 in the kolaramma temple in kolar, karnataka when the high court ruled that a donation box could be placed in the temple. however, the head priest of the temple said that they do not get salaries from the government and are dependent on the money devotees offer in the aarti plate. he questioned how they would survive if a donation box is installed in the temple. as the social media post claims, there is no mention of churches and mosques in the video. hence the post is misleading.
