The Kerala High Court has enforced a ban on vlogger videography in the Guruvayur temple courtyard after a viral video showed a couple cutting a cake within the temple premises. The incident sparked widespread outrage among devotees who felt it disrespected the sanctity of the temple. The court emphasized that the temple is a sacred space meant for worship, not commercial or casual activities like cake-cutting.
This ruling is aimed at maintaining the religious and cultural integrity of the temple, with authorities being instructed to implement stricter regulations to avoid such incidents in the future. The decision has been welcomed by devotees who support preserving the temple’s sanctity for pilgrims.
