Dehradun: Local priests on Monday protested against the Badri Kedar Temple Committee's (BKTC) decision to replace the silver plates covering the walls of the sanctum sanctorum of the Kedarnath temple with gold.
The decision was taken by BKTC when a businessman offered to donate 230 kilograms of gold to the temple. As per reports, some local priests have been opposing the move. They say that gold is a symbol of wealth and worldly pleasures and goes against the ancient values of the temple, which signifies separation from the material world.
