This paper discloses characteristics of Hindu temple management by a charitable society in Contemporary India, with a case study of Rani Sati temple in Rajasthan. This temple commemorates a legendary widow from the Jalan lineage of the Agraval caste, who became the lineage goddess in 1295. Despite the medieval origin of the goddess, the temple construction began in 1912 through the establishment of a trust fund by a group of wealthy merchants of the lineage. It took approximately forty years to complete the temple complex. In 1957, the charitable society for the temple management, “Shree Rani Satiji Mandir”, was registered in Calcutta. Although the temple managing board seems to focus on interests for a particular community, the Jalans, it deliberately conducts activities content with the purpose of “general public utility”, being fully aware of the function and framework of “charity”. Here, the definition of “general public utility” is satisfied with such purposes that the charitable society gives benefit to large enough portion of a group, at least larger than kin-relations of the settlers and the trustees. By composing the community history of the Jalans, Shree Rani Satiji Mandir has consciously proven that its activities contents with the definition of the general public utility in Contemporary India.
