What was the use of clothes in the temples in history
Answers
Answer:
Firstly temples in India are not worshiping God. If you want to worship God then you need to to to a synagogue who invented God or a church who invented Son of God or to a mosque that plagiarized God concept from Israelites.
Hindu temples pay respect to deities and deities are feared / respected people who lived long back and have become memory after their time was over and the respect continues in a ritual form.
The dressing during the time the deity had existed in human form is followed in the temple as it is and the devotees of the deity have no problem with it. Court has no business to interfere in temple rituals / gender restrictions / dress code matters as long as the rituals / restriction / dress code does not affect public order.
If you don’t subscribe to the rules of a temple deity then just don’t go there. At least avoid trying to trample on the beliefs connected to a deity of a particular faith that is not subscribed by you and by faith I mean not only the existence of the deity but also the tags of gender restrictions / rituals / dress code that is followed.
For those intelligentsia who say that no where in the Hindu scriptures does it say so and so let me tell you that Hindu scriptures are not an authority on deity worship. Deity worship began long before someone in his ashram wrote or voided the so called scriptures. The scriptures are just a set of jottings of some human being and I don’t feel any human being who wrote the scriptures based on his upbringing which was based on his local surrounding is worthy enough that his jottings be used to trample on the traditions pertaining to deity worship.
It is unfortunate that today the Hindu scriptures are used to trample on idol worship. This only calls for the need to declassify idol worship as Hinduistic. We don’t need Abrahamic religions to destroy deity worship. Hindutva with its vedas / upanishads / gita is enough to destroy idol worship.
It is time for deity worshipers to be free from not only the Abrahamic religion’s diktats that are anti paganism but also to be free from Hindutva theory that cannot accept anything beyond the human written vedas / upanishads / gita.
