Banke Bihari temple rejects proposal to ban deity’s dresses made by Muslim weavers
Agra: The authorities at the Banke Bihari temple in Uttar Pradesh’s Vrindavan have rejected a proposal to ban dresses made by Muslim weavers for Lord Krishna. The temple administration clarified that there have been no changes to the selection process for the deity’s attire.
Dinesh Falahari, president of the Shri Krishna Janambhumi Sangharsh Nyas, which is also involved in the ongoing Shahi Idgah mosque dispute in Mathura, submitted a memorandum to the temple administration, arguing that offerings made by non-followers of the Hindu faith should not be accepted, claiming that such offerings would be a “grave sin,” as reported by Times of India on Thursday.
However, Gyanendra Kishor Goswami, a member of the temple administration, told the publication that while the temple received the proposal to stop using ‘poshaks’ (attire) made by Muslim weavers, their primary concern was ensuring the purity and sanctity of the attire. “If members of the Muslim community have faith in Thakurji, we have no objection to accepting poshaks from them,” he added.
He said that the 164-year-old temple attracts between 30,000 and 40,000 devotees daily from diverse backgrounds, with the number rising to over one lakh on weekends and during festivals.
