PTC Web Desk: After a couple made a proposal video outside the Kedarnath temple in Uttarakhand, which was widely shared on social media too, the temple committee has approached the police seeking its intervention in keeping an eye on people making videos on the temple premises.
The Kedarnath temple committee alleged that those making Instagram Reels and YouTube videos were hurting the sentiments of the devotees. The committee also sought a strict action in such cases.

I agree. This is so disrespectful & inappropriate. How can someone propose in front of #Kedarnath? This shows a lack of awareness & sensitivity toward our religious sentiments & values. Smartphones (????) are ruining the sanctity & serenity of our sacred places. https://t.co/O4nqojbUrf — Prem Sai ???????? (@saiprem781) July 1, 2023
The video has, however, been termed "cute" by some netizens too.
Firstly, there is no issue with people looking to get married in front of a temple. They should probably read more about shiva and Parvati, and their immense love for each other. All our gods got married and had kids. Nice proposal. https://t.co/14xiqJEUHO — Akshay_Custombaba (@Ajain112) July 1, 2023
