Badri Kedar temple committee chief Hemant Dwivedi has said, days after it announced a ban on the entry of non-Hindus at the two shrines and 45 other temples under its jurisdiction in Garhwal, that non-Hindus will be allowed to visit the temples on submitting an affidavit. The said affidavit will affirm their faith in Sanatan dharma.
Speaking specifically about actress Sara Ali Khan, who often visits Kedarnath, he said, “If she says, she has belief in Sanatan and submits an affidavit to that effect, we will allow her darshan.” The affidavits will be available at the temples.
