Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) – Temples are primarily places of worship, and they cannot be used as locations for filming irreligious movies, the Kerala High Court observed in an important ruling. The court has also sought an explanation from the Kerala Government and the Cochin Devaswom Board on how permission for filming was granted in the temple. This observation was made while hearing a petition challenging the permission given for filming at the Tripunithura Sree Poornathrayeesa Temple.
1. The petition raised concerns about the appropriateness of granting permission for filming irreligious movies within temple premises. The petitioners argued that such activities not only desecrate the sanctity of worship but also risk hurting the sentiments of devotees who visit these places for spiritual practices.
2. Highlighting the potential disrespect caused by commercial filming, the court reiterated the importance of maintaining the sanctity of religious sites.
3. The petition also pointed out specific incidents, including reports that some actors involved in the film were seen consuming alcohol and entering the temple premises wearing footwear during a festival season.
Editorial PerspectiveThese are the consequences of the government’s control over Hindu temples. Hindus across the country must unite, protest, and push the government to hand over temple management to devout Hindus. |
