A Romanian national entered the premises of the historic Lingaraj Temple in Bhubaneswar at around 12:30 PM, raising concerns over temple access for non-Hindus.
The individual was briefly detained and questioned by authorities before being released.
The event has ignited discussions regarding temple entry rules and adherence to traditional guidelines. The Lingaraj Temple, a revered site dedicated to Lord Shiva, has historically permitted entry only to Hindus, making this incident particularly significant in the ongoing conversation about cultural and religious inclusivity.
