gopal singh's Blogs >> ponder over it Dress code in Tirupati

It is a welcome step of the management of the TTD to impose dress code in temple premises. This step should have been taken long back. People come in all types of dresses, like jeans, half sleeves, tight dresses, see through dresses almost half naked. Where is the end for such types of dresses? There fore the need for proper dress was felt by many. People wanted decent and respectable attires. We always liked this step of the TTD. But for reasons not known the management could not implement the dress code earlier. When one important south Indian temple could implement, why not Tirupati ? Better not too late.
This action of TTD has encouraged me to go one step ahead. We know that educational institutions are temples of modern learning ( once Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru said this refering to the universities ). Some go to the temples for boons, some go to the temples for solace and peace of mind. What ever it is, the place is pious. We have to maintain the sanctity of the surroundings. Learning place is like temple. Let us maintain its sanctity. When there is dress code in temple why not in educational institution ?
It is not uncommon to see in schools, colleges and universities some students ( girls and boys ) go in all types of funny, fancy and indecent attires. Primarily the purpose of imposing dress code is to save the onlookers from diversion of their attention. In temples it is God and in educational institutions it is subject proper ( learning process ). I personally feel that the dress code should be implemented in educational insttutions also. Please ponder over it.
