Mumbai, March 31 (NationPress) In light of the recent guidelines implemented in temples, actress Rakul Preet Singh has highlighted the importance of dressing with respect when visiting holy places.
Focusing on mindful fashion decisions, Rakul encourages individuals to be aware of their clothing, ensuring it is appropriate for the decorum expected at such spiritual sites. The ‘De De Pyaar De’ star expressed her views on the necessity of dressing suitably for every occasion, particularly in the public eye. Rakul underscored the obligation that comes with being a public figure, extending to one’s fashion choices.
During a discussion at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week, Rakul stated to IANS, “As a public figure, everything you do in the public eye must be executed with responsibility, I believe. And in fashion, I consistently advocate dressing according to the occasion. If you're visiting a temple, dress appropriately; if you're heading to the gym, wear suitable attire; or if you're dining out, you will dress accordingly. Personally, I am someone who values dressing for the occasion, dressing correctly, and enjoying your fashion within those limits.”
Earlier this January, the Siddhivinayak Temple in Mumbai established a dress code for visitors, banning short skirts and revealing outfits. The notice from the Shree Siddhivinayak Ganapati Temple Trust (SGTT) mandated that attendees wear respectable clothing, favoring traditional Indian attire. The SSGTT commented, “Visitors wearing trousers with cuts or torn fabric, short skirts, or clothing that exposes body parts will not be allowed inside the temple.”
Numerous temples, particularly in South India, enforce dress codes to maintain the sanctity and respect of the holy environment. These guidelines typically require modest, full-coverage clothing and often promote the wearing of traditional Indian attire.
