Tradition and Religious Practices
According to Dwivedi, BKTC temples strictly follow Hindu religious scriptures, rituals, and traditions. Restricting entry to Hindu devotees is aimed at preserving the sanctity, spiritual discipline, and cultural ethos of these ancient pilgrimage sites. He emphasized that this practice is not new but has been in place for generations.
Importance of Badrinath and Kedarnath Dhams
The Badrinath and Kedarnath Dhams, part of the revered Char Dham Yatra, witness millions of pilgrims annually. These shrines hold immense religious significance in Hinduism and are among the most visited pilgrimage destinations in Uttarakhand.
Appeal to Devotees
Dwivedi urged devotees and visitors to respect temple rules and cooperate with authorities for the smooth conduct of darshan, festivals, and seasonal yatras. BKTC officials assured that all necessary arrangements are in place to manage the pilgrim flow efficiently.
The directive will continue to apply across all BKTC-managed temples, reinforcing their commitment to safeguarding religious traditions.
