Bhopal: Garba Organisers Sprinkle Gaumutra, Ask Devotees To Chant ‘Jai Shri Ram’ To Prevent Entry of Non-Hindus

Navratri celebrations in Bhopal took a controversial turn as the members of Shri Krishna Seva Samiti in Avadhpuri reportedly asked devotees to sip Gangajal (holy water of the Ganga River), sprinkled cow urine and asked them to chant "Jai Shri Ram" before entering Garba pandals. The committee has set strict rules, including wearing a tilak, tying a sacred thread, and carrying Aadhaar cards, to allegedly prevent non-Hindus from attending. Posters outside the pandals warned non-Hindus of being turned away and showed images of sticks and shoes as a threat. Videos of the ritual and enforcement have gone viral on social media, sparking debate over religious exclusivity. Officials said the measures were aimed at protecting the traditional Navratri custom. Kidnapping Caught on Camera in Mandsaur: Woman Kidnapped During Garba Practice in MP, Rescued by Police as 4 Arrested Including 2 Women; Video Goes Viral.
