  • The dispute between the Ramanuja and Ramanandi sects has put Galta peeth's future at the intersection of religious tradition, politics and judicial intervention

The article from India Today Insight discusses the ongoing dispute over the management of the Galta Peeth temple in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The conflict involves the temple's priests, who have traditionally managed the temple, and the Rajasthan Devasthan Department, which claims authority over the temple's administration.
