After the viral video of the girl proposing to her boyfriend, devotees are now being asked to turn off their mobile phones before entering the temple area. However, sources indicate that plans are underway to provide storage facilities for mobile phones.

The facilities will most likely be available outside the temple premises, in the near future.

This is not the only such incident, in the later days of June, a video of a woman showering money inside the temple also went viral. The white saree-clad woman was recorded showering money on a shiva linga.

The incident happened in the main premises of the temple where videography and photography are banned. Strict action was demanded and taken against the woman.
