Badrinath-Kedarnath To Ban Non-Hindus? Temple Panel To Pass Proposal Soon
Only Hindus will soon be allowed to enter the centuries-old Badrinath and Kedarnath temples nestled in the lap of the Himalayas in Uttarakhand. Non-Hindus will be barred from entering the two temples that are part of the Char Dham pilgrimage circuit, the temple body managing these shrines has announced.
The rule barring non-Hindus applies to all temples controlled by the Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee (BKTC), including the Badrinath-Kedarnath Dham. Confirming the development, BKTC president Hemant Dwivedi stated that the entry for non-Hindus will be prohibited in all temples under the temple committee.
