Sanatan Rakshak Dal removes Sai Baba statues from multiple Varanasi temples

Statues of Sai Baba were removed from multiple temples in Varanasi on Tuesday (October 1, 2024) following a campaign launched by a group called 'Sanatan Rakshak Dal'.

Of these, the group removed a Sai Baba statue from the Bada Ganesh Temple here and placed it outside the temple's premises.

Rammu Guru, the head priest of the temple, said, "Sai Baba was being worshiped without proper knowledge, which is forbidden according to scriptures."
