Jammu and Kashmir’s renowned ‘Bawe Wali Mata’ temple management has introduced a dress code, urging visitors to dress “decently” and cover their heads and refrain from wearing shorts, miniskirts, ripped jeans and capri pants on the premises.
The dress code, a first-of-its-kind regulation in Jammu city, was found posted as a notice near the entrance of the famous Kali temple located in the Bahu Fort area of Jammu.
The move follows similar measures by several temples in Nagpur, the Radharani temple in Barsana and the Hanuman Dham in Shamli.
The notice at the ‘Bawe Wali Mata’ temple requests visitors to dress “decently” and cover their heads before entering the temple premises while also prohibiting half-pants, bermuda shorts, miniskirts, night suits, ripped jeans and capri pants within the temple grounds.
According to the notice written in Hindi, the management aims to maintain the sanctity of the shrine and seeks the cooperation of devotees in adhering to the dress code.
