Udupi's Pejawar Seer Refuses to Comment on Ayodhya Ram Mandir Financial Allegations
By ETF Desk
On Sunday, a leading Pejawar seer from the coastal district of Udupi chose to remain silent rather than address allegations of financial irregularities involving the Ayodhya Ram Mandir.
The allegations, first raised by opposition parties and certain media outlets, accuse the temple trust of misappropriating funds earmarked for construction and renovation. The Pejawar, known for his spiritual guidance to local devotees, was invited for a statement by local media.
His refusal to comment has left both the public and the temple administration uneasy, prompting calls from some quarters for a transparent audit. With the Ayodhya controversy still highly charged, the seer's silence may be seen as a deliberate attempt to avoid politicising religious sentiments.
