The woman&#8217;s identity is still unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video was shot not only right next to the Kedarnath Temple&#8217;s Shivling, where it is reported that photography and videography are strictly banned, but it also showed the woman performing improperly inside the holy grounds as she disgracefully showered cash like she would at a dance club or wedding reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/Garv_verma7\/status\/1670694085123018754\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Temple President Ajendra Ajay acknowledged the viral video in a press release that was officially released by the Shri Badrinath-Kedarnath Temple Committee and urged the authorities to take serious steps.
