Rudraprayag: Uttarakhand-based Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela has once again made a strange statement, which has hurt the religious sentiments of many people. Even the priests of Char Dham have opposed this statement of Urvashi Rautela. Due to this statement, Urvashi Rautela is being trolled a lot on social media. Urvashi Rautela has claimed that there is a temple named after her in Uttarakhand, where people worship her.
In fact, in a podcast, Urvashi Rautela was asked if she also feels that people should shout ‘Jai Urvashi’ for her. In response to this question, Urvashi Rautela said that ‘There is already a temple named after her in Uttarakhand.’ Urvashi Rautela told that ‘There is a temple near Badrinath Dham temple, the name of that temple is Urvashi.’
When the host of the podcast again insisted and asked whether it is really your temple. Do people bow their heads there and take blessings? On this, Urvashi laughed and said that ‘now that it is a temple, they will do the same’. The host then asked whether people go to that temple and say that Urvashi Rautela ji bless me. Urvashi said that ‘who shouts like this?’
Urvashi has made another claim in the podcast, in which he is saying that her photo has been put up in Delhi University, on which students offer garlands and worship her. Urvashi has even said that she is very serious about this.
Urvashi Rautela’s statement has created an uproar: Now this statement of Urvashi Rautela has created an uproar. Kedarnath Dham’s Tirtha Purohit Santosh Trivedi, Ankit Semwal and Gau Raksha Department’s National General Secretary Thanapati Mani Mahesh Giri Maharaj have expressed their displeasure over this statement of Urvashi Rautela. He said that ‘the temple that Urvashi Rautela is talking about is the Urvashi temple near Badrinath Dham, who is the presiding deity of the region.’
Santosh Trivedi said that the four dhams of Uttarakhand have their own special significance. All the temples around them are sacred, which have mythological stories, which the people here know very well. The film actress is giving such statements to become famous. This statement of hers has caused anger among the Tirtha Purohit community as well as Hindu organizations. Such a statement of hers is extremely regrettable. If film actress Urvashi Rautela does not take back her statement and apologize, then a protest will be held against her.
Urvashi temple is in Chamoli Bamani village: Let us tell you that the temple of Maa Urvashi, which actress Urvashi Rautela has mentioned, is located in Bamani village of Chamoli district of Uttarakhand. The temple was built from the left lotus of Lord Narayana in Badrikashram. Its story is from the Vedic period. It is situated in front of Urvashi Parvat, Neelkanth Parvat and Narayan Parvat. It is at the place where Urvashi Devi appeared from the thighs of Lord Narayan, who was engaged in penance in Badrinath. This simply means that the Urvashi temple of Badrinath Dham has no connection with Urvashi Rautela.
