बद्रीनाथ मंदिर के गेट पर फोटो खिंचवाने के लिए श्रद्धालु आपस में ही भिड़ गए, खूब लात–घूंसे चले। ये श्रद्धालु मन में अगाध श्रद्धा लेकर "पुण्य" पाने को बद्रीनाथ धाम आए थे। pic.twitter.com/KdZnffUO7f

The fight disrupted the holy atmosphere and drew criticism as disrespectful and unbecoming at a place of worship. This Uttarakhand viral video highlights how social media desires can overpower genuine religious devotion. 

Rising Incidents at Shrines, Authorities Continue Ignoring Warnings

The Uttarakhand viral video adds to a growing list of violent incidents at sacred shrines. Earlier, a brawl erupted between three youths and two women at Sahastradhara in Dehradun over a minor dispute in April. Netizens questioned why authorities failed to prevent such clashes despite mounting warnings about crowd safety. 

Local officials often delay installing photo spots and fail to enforce queue systems at temple entrances. Devotees and family members find themselves in dangerous scuffles as they jostle for better views and pictures. Until authorities act on repeated pleas for safer arrangements, these clashes may only grow more frequent. 

Uttarakhand Viral Video Triggers Outrage and Public Disappointment

The shocking fight at Badrinath Temple has left netizens both appalled and deeply disappointed. One user noted, "In sab ko line se khada karke 20-20 laathi prasaad ke roop mein deni chahiye," while expressing anger at the chaotic crowd and calling for strict action. A user says, "Teerth ya Bhagwan ke darbaar mein bhi yeh sab karne jaate hain kuch log? Hadd hai…," which conveys disbelief and disappointment at such disrespect in a holy place. 

"Sab reelbaazi aur statusbaazi ka bukhaar hai. Ab aaraam ho gaya hoga 😜😜," the commenter uses sarcasm to mock the pilgrims for social-media frenzy over photos. "Kya yahan jhagda karne aye hai ye log," the comment reflects confusion and embarrassment that visitors turned a shrine into a battleground. 

The Uttarakhand viral video reminds us that faith must never turn into conflict at holy places. Authorities and devotees both share the duty to preserve respect and harmony.
