The step has been taken to prohibit the entry of people from “other communities”.

At the same time, women have been urged to wear traditional attire instead of jeans and Tees. Several right-wing outfits, including the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal, have convened meetings with the organizing committees of Garba pandals and asked them to check the Aadhaar cards and see that applicants apply tilak before ensuing their entry.
