No jeans, tops & mini skirts: Posters outside Jabalpur temples urge devotees to wear 'culturally appropriate' clothes

Posters asking devotees to wear "culturally appropriate" clothes have been put up at 40 temples in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh.

A spokesperson for Mahakal Sangh International Bajrang Dal, the outfit that has issued the posters, on Sunday said devotees should not wear jeans, tops, mini skirts, night suits and shorts, while women and girls must also cover their heads.

"This should not be taken otherwise. It is up to us to preserve Indian culture. I appeal to women to wear culturally appropriate clothes while visiting temples," he contended.
