DGP leaders perform Jalabhishek in the sanctum sanctorum.
There is a long team of officials at the Baba Mahakar Temple in Ujjain who maintain the arrangements. However, on Thursday morning, Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple Committee Chairman Collector Neeraj Kumar Singh came across a case of charging Rs 1,100 per person in the name of obtaining darshan from Nandi Hall. The incident remained in the headlines when pictures of Baba Mahakar’s darshan, puja and jalabishek after reaching the sanctum sanctorum went viral on social media. Among them, some leaders of the Telugu Democratic Party (TDP) were present at the sanctum sanctorum. Collector Neeraj Kumar Singh takes the matter seriously. It is reported that strict action will be taken after the investigation of the incident is completed.
In fact, on Wednesday, Telugu Desam Party national spokesperson and Swachh Andhra Corporation president Kommareddy Pattabhiram arrived at the Sri Mahakaleshwar temple along with a number of people to attend the darshan of Baba Mahakal. These people reached the sanctum sanctorum of the Mahakaleshwar temple and not only worshiped and anointed Baba Mahakar but also shared the photos on social media platforms.
What did Collector Neeraj Singh say?
The whole thing only created an uproar after the photo was posted on social media as people after seeing the photo said that when the last and one devotees were banned from entering the sanctum sanctorum of the Mahakaleshwar temple, half a year later, Kommereddy Pattabhiram and How were the entourage allowed into the sanctuary?
In this regard, Collector Neeraj Kumar Singh said that a photo is going viral fast. There are some issues regarding darshan of the sanctum and a report has been sought from the temple committee. Investigation into the matter has been handed over to the SDM, who will reveal how the men gained access inside. Further action will be taken following the report.
How on earth can one reach the Holy of Holies?
This major mistake regarding the darshan system of Mahakaleshwar temple shows that whatever rules are laid down here, they are implemented only on ordinary devotees. Officials are not ready to reveal how the Telugu Desam Party’s national spokesperson reached the sanctum sanctorum of the temple. Who brought these people to the Holy of Holies?
It is said that there was a huge uproar when the Telugu Desam Party spokesperson shared pictures of darshan held at the sanctum sanctorum of Mahakar Temple. Kommereddy Pattabhiram has since deleted the photos from Facebook.
