Sanskruti Bachao Manch supported the statement
Sanskriti Bachao Manch has supported the statement of State Culture Minister Usha Thakur. Activist Chandrashekhar Tiwari said that Panchgavya should be given before Garba entry, so that the visitor’s soul gets purified. The one who does not drink Panchagavya does not belong to our religion. Today Garba has been commercialised.
There is only obscenity and vulgarity in Garba centers these days, the Manch said. Boys and girls keep waiting for the couple’s entry outside the pandal and that’s why girls go with Muslim boys. Later on, these boys do wrong things with girls.
