Debate broke out over garland in the sanctum sanctorum of the temple
In a video viral on social media, Anjanish Shukla and his bride can be seen performing the varmala ritual inside the sanctum sanctorum of Khajrana Ganesh temple. It is noteworthy that entry of common devotees into the sanctum sanctorum is restricted. In such a situation, many people have raised questions regarding the marriage ceremony being performed inside, as to how this special exemption was given despite the general devotees not being allowed.

Grand decorations, fireworks worth lakhs
At the same time, discussions are also going on regarding the grand wedding event. The viral video shows the luxurious decoration of the wedding venue, a large number of guests and the presence of many high-profile faces. It is being claimed that the ceremony was completely based on religious theme and the venue was decorated with statues of Hindu gods and goddesses.
A grand statue of Lord Shiva was installed on the main stage, in front of which the garland ceremony was completed. Apart from this, it is also being claimed on social media that around Rs 70 lakh was spent on fireworks in the ceremony itself.
While this high-profile wedding has created buzz for its grandeur and religious ceremonies, the issue has also remained in the headlines due to questions raised regarding rules and traditions.
