The adoption of dress codes in temples is becoming a prevalent practice throughout India. Recently, in Uttarakhand, several temples in Dehradun, Rishikesh, and Haridwar have introduced dress code regulations. The Mahanirvani Panchayati Akhada, a prominent religious organization, has taken the lead in implementing these guidelines with the aim of upholding the sanctity of religious sites. Temples such as Daksh Prajapati in Haridwar, Tapkeshwar Mahadev Mandir in Dehradun, and Neelkanth Mahadev Mandir in Rishikesh have enforced stringent dress code requirements.

The servitors of the Jagannath Temple, who embarked on the Anubhav Yatra, visiting various renowned religious destinations, are now proposing the implementation of comparable dress code guidelines within their own temple premises. Servitors at Puri's Jagannath Temple are urging for the introduction of a dress code for devotees who come to visit this sacred place. This request aligns with the dress code policies already in place at several other renowned religious institutions.
