Madhya Pradesh mandates safety and identity checks for Navratri Garba events, sparking debate over religious inclusivity.
Madhya Pradesh’s Bhopal district administration has mandated identity verification, CCTV cameras, fire safety measures, and certified electrical work for Garba and Dandiya events during Navratri, aiming to ensure public safety amid concerns over religious exclusivity.
These rules follow statements by state minister Vishvas Sarang, who said Garba is a Hindu religious ritual dedicated to Goddess Devi and should be reserved for Hindus, though some officials have suggested non-Hindus may participate if they adopt Hindu practices.
The directives require organizers to prevent weapons from entering venues and impose legal liability for non-compliance.
Meanwhile, Durga Puja in Kolkata features innovative themes blending technology and spirituality, while Gujarat celebrates Navratri with high-profile events and recognition of women athletes.
