Complaints are mounting over the growing use of mobile phones inside temples, especially for shooting reels and creating content for social media posts.

Devotees say such activity disrupts those who come for peaceful darshan and affects the sanctity and calm atmosphere of the temple premises.

Against this backdrop, attention has turned to the Vadapalani Murugan Temple in Chennai, where a mobile phone ban is being discussed in line with HR&CE-related guidelines.

The key question being raised is when the restriction will be implemented and how it will be enforced to ensure an undisturbed worship experience for devotees.
