The Hindu
Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai enforces dress code banning revealing attire to maintain sanctity and comfort for all devotees.
Devotees wearing short skirts or revealing clothes will not be allowed in the famous Siddhivinayak temple in Mumbai from next week, as per a dress code announced on Tuesday (January 28, 2025).
The Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple Trust (SSGTT) said devotees would have to wear decent and body-covering clothes, preferably decent Indian attire.
‘Starting next week, devotees wearing revealing or inappropriate attire will not be allowed to enter the temple situated in the Prabhadevi area,” the SSGTT said.
The Trust said the dress code decision followed several complaints regarding inappropriate clothing causing discomfort to other devotees.
"Devotees wearing trousers with cuts or torn fabric, short skirts, or clothing that exposes body parts will not be permitted inside the temple," the order stated.
The Trust said the temple attracts thousands of devotees daily from across the country and that many visitors had expressed concerns about attire that they felt was disrespectful in a place of worship.
"After receiving repeated requests, the temple trust decided to implement the dress code to preserve the sanctity of the temple," it said.
