Before the Chardham Yatra 2026, a big issue regarding religious faith and traditions has come to light in Uttarakhand. Badri-Kedar Temple Committee (BKTC), passing a unanimous resolution in the board meeting held on March 10, has recommended ban on the entry of non-Sanatanis in 47 temples including Kedarnath, Badrinath. This proposal has been sent to the state government, where a final decision will be taken on it.
The committee says that this decision has been taken with the aim of maintaining the sanctity and eternal traditions of the temples. According to BKTC, Chardham Yatra is not just tourism but a sacred journey associated with faith and religious rules, in which it is necessary to follow traditions.
Sara Ali Khan will have to give an affidavit to come to Kedarnath
Meanwhile, this matter came into limelight when the name of Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan came into discussion. Let us tell you that Sara Ali Khan is the daughter of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh, she is a Muslim and also follows the religion of Hindus. The actress goes to visit Kedarnath and Badrinath every year.
According to the information, if Sara Ali Khan comes to Kedarnath temple for darshan, she will have to give an affidavit. Only on the basis of this affidavit, considering them as Sanatani, they can be allowed to enter the temple. After this news came out, sharp reactions are being seen on social media.
There is huge enthusiasm among the devotees regarding Chardham Yatra 2026. More than 6 lakh people have registered even before the start of the Yatra, due to which a record number of devotees are expected to arrive this time. However, such proposals have also increased the sensitivity regarding travel.
Now everyone’s eyes are fixed on the decision of the state government on this entire matter. The government will decide how the Chardham Yatra 2026 will be conducted while maintaining a balance between religious traditions and social balance.
