Actor Anushka Sharma and cricketer Virat Kohli’s recent visit to the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain has caused a stir. The couple reportedly received VIP treatment and were seated at the gate of the garbh graha, while the general public was relegated to a restricted area far away from them. Alongside the couple, high net-worth individuals (HNIs) were also spotted sitting behind them, sparking concerns that the temple management is reserving darshan only for celebrities and wealthy customers.
Many are questioning the temple’s management and asking if they will ever allow general public access to the garbh graha. This trend is troubling, and the MP government must take notice and ensure that every devotee is treated equally. The temple’s reputation is at stake, and the management must not give special treatment to celebrities and bank HNIs while ignoring the general public.
