Dehradun, July 16: Devotees have been banned from taking photographs and making videos inside the premises of the Kedarnath Temple here. The move comes after a recent video of a woman blogger proposing to her boyfriend in front of the temple went viral.
Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee has put up boards at various places in the temple premises which read, 'Do not enter the temple premises with mobile phones; any kind of photography and videography is completely prohibited inside the temple; and you are under the surveillance of CCTV cameras'.
