Govt body to implement dress code in Karnataka temples
The Karnataka Rajya Dharmika Parishat has announced plans to implement a compulsory dress code in 34,000 temples across Karnataka, in order to "preserve their sanctity". Women will reportedly be allowed entry to the temples only if they are wearing salwar kameez or sarees. Revealing clothes worn by youngsters lead to distraction in devotees' minds, a Parishat member said.
