VHP calls for Aadhar checks at garba events in Maharashtra

The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) in Maharashtra has called for Aadhar card verification at garba and dandiya events, ahead of the Navratri festival beginning October 11. The organization has also suggested applying tilak as an entry requirement at these celebrations.

The directive comes approximately one month before Navratri, one of the major Hindu festivals. VHP's move to link religious identity with entry to cultural events has drawn attention amid ongoing discussions on communal harmony during festival seasons.
