Answer: he had a total of Rs.1,46,900 in his pocket initially.
How? We should start from last temple here.
he offered Rs.100 while coming back so he must have offered Rs.100 to the god on 9th temple and offered Rs.100 while going up on the 9th temple. so he had Rs.300 before 9th temple.

similarly before 8th temple: (300+100)*2 + 100 = 900
similarly before 7th temple: (900+100)*2 + 100 = 2100
similarly before 6th temple: (2100+100)*2 + 100 = 4500, we had some error here in calculating, thanks to our readers for correcting us
similarly before 5th temple: (4500+100)*2 + 100 = 9300
similarly before 4th temple: (9300+100)*2 + 100 = 18900
similarly before 3rd temple: (18900+100)*2 + 100 = 38,100
similarly before 2nd temple: (38100+100)*2 + 100 = 76500
similarly before 1st temple: (76500+100)*2 + 100 = 153300
