The Badrinath Kedarnath temple committee has sent a legal notice to a trust in Telangana, which is planning to build replicas of the famous Himalayan temples in the southern state, officials said on Monday.
According to a press release from the committee’s media officer, Harish Gaur, the notice was signed by the committee's CEO, Vijay Prasad Thapliyal.
The notice explains that devotees have been visiting the original Badrinath and Kedarnath temples in Uttarakhand for centuries and opposes the idea of creating replicas of these sacred sites.
The trust has been given two weeks to respond to the notice. If it does not respond, the temple committee will take legal action, including both civil and criminal proceedings.
