They manage rituals, cultural traditions, festivals, donations, and thousands'sometimes millions'of devotees every year. But despite their cultural importance, many temples still depend on paper registers, manual counters, and cash boxes to manage their daily activities.

So, ready for a Post-Mortem Rant from an Unhinged Maniac??? How hard can it be right? I thought the hard part would be the GUI.
