Dress code for Rudrabhishek at Mankameshwar
Prayagraj: This Shrawan month, which will begin on July 11, devotees willing to perform Rudrabhishek (special puja) of Lord Shiva at the famous Mankameshwar temple campus will have to follow a dress code.
While women devotees must wear a saree or suit, men devotees will need to wear a dhoti, kurta, and paijama while performing Rudrabhishek on the temple campus. The management of Mankameshwar temple has decided to implement a dress code for devotees only for those willing to perform Rudrabhishek during the Shrawan month.
"Devotees must be conscious of Indian culture and tradition and must wear decent clothes while performing Rudrabhishek on the temple campus," said chief priest Mahant Shridharanand Brahmachari.
For other devotees arriving for darshan, there will be no dress code, he made it clear. He, however, appealed to devotees to wear traditional Indian dress while visiting temples to offer prayers to deities.
