Uttarakhand Bans Mobiles, Cameras in Char Dham Temples

The government of Uttarakhand has decided that people going to the Char Dham temples (Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri, and Yamunotri) will not be allowed to bring mobile phones and cameras inside the temple areas.

This rule starts this year.

The idea is to keep the temples peaceful and make sure people can pray without distractions.

Pilgrims will have to leave their phones and cameras in special places before entering the temples.

They can take pictures and videos only after they finish praying and leave the temple.

Last year, more than 50 lakh people visited these temples, and the government wants to make sure everyone has a good and safe experience this year.
