Soon, the video went viral on social media and sparked a debate among netizens on the internet. One user wrote, “I do not find anything wrong in this video. Rather it’s beautiful. – Marriages do take place in temples across India. – Absolutely fine if a couple takes marriage vows in the witness of Lord Shri Kedar himself. – The couple in the video seems to be appropriately dressed as should be in temple premises. – It is beautiful these days to see youth’s trust in the Hindu Devi Devtas.”
Another wrote, “attention seeking should never have been normalized.. I’m sure people are taking selfies with the deity too..”
A third user wrote, “Mandirs are abodes of Bhagwan Shri and spiritual places.These are not parks or tourist places. Such acts & Phones must be banned at all such places. There should be no such sacrileges or Beadbi. Why are Hindus not respecting their own Dharma? Degradation of the value system.”
