Veteran Congress leader Karan Singh on Friday came forward to support the introduction of dress codes in various temples across the country, asserting that individuals visiting these sacred places should dress appropriately and modestly.
The Bawe Wali Mata temple management in Jammu and Kashmir recently introduced a dress code, urging visitors to dress "decently" by covering their heads and refraining from wearing attire such as shorts, mini skirts, ripped jeans, and capri pants within the premises.
The notice regarding the dress code was prominently displayed near the entrance of the Kali temple, located in the Bahu Fort area of Jammu.
The development aligns with similar measures implemented by several other temples, including those in Nagpur, the Radharani temple in Barsana, and the Hanuman Dham in Shamli.
Mr. Singh, in a video interview to PTI, emphasised on the importance of respectful dressing at places of worship.
"It is essential for anyone visiting a temple to dress appropriately. Just as individuals cover their heads while visiting gurdwaras, it becomes important for people to cover their heads when entering temples," he reasoned.
As the chairperson of one of the largest Dharmarth Trusts, overseeing numerous ancient and historically significant temples in Jammu and Kashmir,Mr. Singh encouraged individuals to voluntarily make an effort to dress decently while visiting these holy places.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
