In Brief
In this matter concerning the Mahakaleshwar Mandir in Ujjain, the Supreme Court addressed the neglect of traditional religious rituals in temple management. While declining to prescribe specific rituals, the Court directed that the Temple Committee ensure regular performance of necessary religious ceremonies by qualified experts, without allowing commercialization. The Court ordered that the Temple Committee act on expert recommendations and set the matter for further monitoring in January 2021 to assess compliance with these directions concerning ritual performance and institutional governance."
