‘Hindus only’ banner at Bengal Kankalitala temple sparks row; priests claim no entry bar

A flex at Kankalitala temple in Bolpur declared only Hindus allowed for puja, installed by ‘Sanatan Paksha’.

This exclusionary message contrasts with Bengal’s inclusive temple traditions, as seen at Tarapith temple where no restrictions exist. Local BJP leadership denied involvement and opposed new regulations.
