Siddhivinayak Temple Introduces Dress Code to Preserve Sanctity

The Mumbai temple bans ripped jeans, short skirts, and revealing attire, urging devotees to embrace Indian cultural norms starting next week.

Siddhivinayak Temple announced a new dress code prohibiting ripped jeans, short skirts, and revealing clothing to maintain the sanctity of the premises.
The temple trust clarified that while Indian attire is encouraged, any modest and body-covering outfit is acceptable under the new guidelines.
This decision follows complaints from devotees about inappropriate clothing worn by some visitors, which was deemed disrespectful in the sacred space.
The dress code will be implemented gradually, with efforts to ensure devotees are informed and not inconvenienced during the transition.
In addition to the dress code, the temple is adopting eco-friendly practices, including replacing plastic prasad bags with paper alternatives.
