The Vishva Hindu Parishad has made a decision regarding Navratri garba and dandiya events. Muslims are barred from participating in these events. To verify the Hindu identity of participants, organizers must check Aadhaar cards and apply tilak.

A spokesperson for the organization stated that this decision is intended to protect the cultural character of the festivals. The measures are described as precautionary, rather than targeting a specific community.

Further information is available from the source, including the scheduled start date of the Navratri festival, which is October 11. Details of the decision and its implementation can be found in the original report.
