Wrong parenting and no sense of worship and Bhakti. No teachings of Sanatan literature taught..

Instagram, Tik Tok and Facebook generation will ruin Sanatan Dharma

Istg people like these deserve to be banned from each and every temple. If you can't maintain proper sanctity and decorum expected of you in a holy site, especially one is such a important city as Haridwar, you don't deserve entering the temple. https://t.co/UDnHl6k47b

According to reports, Tanmay Vashisht, General Secretary of Ganga Sabha has filed a complained with local police and has demanded strict action. He further described the act as 'playing with the dignity of Dharmanagari'.

Meanwhile, the Haridwar police have launched an investigation against the identified individuals, though they are yet to make an official statement yet.

Har ki Pauri, arguably the most famous ghat in the temple town, is visited by devotees and visitors in large number seeking the blessings of Holy Ganga by offering their prayers. It is also the place where the world famous Kumbha Mela takes place every twelve years and the Ardh Kumbh Mela which takes place every 6 years. Millions of pilgrims take part in the proceedings and it witnesses the largest ever congregation of human beings anywhere on the Planet. Even otherwise, the city of Haridwar is packed with pilgrims throughout the year.
