Namaste.
I agree with what the temple trust did...banning jeans and t-shirts.
It's not so much the 'body hugging' sexual nature of the clothing, but it's more about tradition...about respect for God.
When my teenage daughter went with me to Mukti Gupteshwar Mandir, she wore jeans and a t-shirt and I wore a full ankle-length frilly skirt with undergarments, a long-sleeved blouse and a shawl (there's no way you'd catch me dead in a Sari or Shalwar Kameez).
I was like: "you can't wear that because dungarees aren't Hindu clothes...pretty, feminine things are".
Clothing must be
modest and not in a sexual way, but in a practical way.
Still, a lot can be said for 'putting a lot of wrapping paper on the present'.
She came with me, dressed in Jeans and T-Shirt though, just to look at the temple.
I am
very old school though and I won't even go inside a Mandir without even having my head covered...
The only females in the Temple with a fully covered head, was myself and a few older ladies.
This also needs to be addressed.
Aum Namah Shivaya
