I must have walked a few more yards when a group of women approaphed me for donations for an orpbange. I gave them two rupees more than half the money I had in my purse. Then, after a few yards I was approached by a religious group for a donation to the temple they were building. .1 gave them three rupees more than half of what I had in my purse.
At last when returned to my hotel room, I found that I had only one rupee remaining in my purse.
