Woman Showers Money On Kedarnath’s Shivling. Authorities Call It Disgraceful, Demand Action

According to Hindu mythology, devotees can make Lord Shiva happy by showering him with love and bel patra. But every devotee has their own beliefs and ways of showing love to their god. A video is doing the rounds on the internet that features a woman standing inside the revered Kedarnath shrine. The woman starts showering the holy shivling with currency notes, and the authorities have demanded action against her. 

Video: Woman Showers Money On Kedarnath’s Shivling

In a viral video on the internet, a woman clad in a white saree can be seen showering Kedarnath’s shivling with currency notes. The incident took place inside the sanctum sanctorum (Garba Griha) of Uttarakhand’s Kedarnath temple. 

The video has received a lot of displeasure from the public. The temple authorities called this act disgraceful and demanded action against the woman. 

The video comes from inside the temple’s main spot, where videography or photography is strictly prohibited. The woman can be seen behaving in a very weird manner while showering the currency notes on the main deity of Kedarnath temple. 

People compared the woman’s behaviour with someone showering money in a bar and hence called it disgraceful.

The video, which was shot inside the revered Kedarnath temple, is being shamed by people because they found the woman’s behaviour very inappropriate. The way the woman was showering the notes seemed disgraceful to many, including the temple authorities. 

A press note has been officially sent out by the Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee. Temple President Ajendra Ajay looked at the viral video and asked the police to take strict action against the woman for her behaviour.

Rudraprayag’s District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police were spoken to by the President of the temple. They were asked to take action without any further delay.
