Raj Kumar Makkad (Adv P & H High Court Chandigarh)     22 April 2012

Entry in kalighat temple grabh gria banned

The Calcutta High Court on Friday banned the entry of devotees to the ‘Garbha Griha’ (sanctum sanctorum) of Kalighat’s Kali Temple, saying the large number of visits was defacing the shrine.

 

A division bench of Chief Justice J.N. Patel and Justice Sambuddha Chakrabarti, however, allowed any two priests on a day to enter the ‘Garbha Griha’ to make the holy offerings to the deity and ordered the temple authorities to prepare a list of priests who shall be entrusted with the task.

 

The petitioners, contending that the entry of the devotees was not only resulting in defacement of the place but was also hurting its sanctity, prayed for an order prohibiting the entry of the devotees.

this step was really necessary.

 

I visited the said temple a few years back and found the local pandits were totally misusing the things there.

 

I had an access to the santum sanctorum, but its a nice step by HC to put a stay upon the things.

Local people who live nearby know what kind of activities happen there and around the area. People living far away do not know and have a different image of things in their mind that is unconnected with reality or truth.
