Priest, mahant brawl over headgear inside Ujjain's Mahakal Temple
Things got heated at Ujjain's Shri Mahakaleshwar Temple on Wednesday when a priest and a Mahant ended up fighting over a saffron turban.
Mahant Mahavir Nath walked into the sanctum wearing the headgear, but priest Mahesh Sharma objected, saying temple rules don't allow any head covering before Lord Mahakal.
The argument quickly turned into a scuffle, leaving devotees pretty shocked.
Inquiry underway, CCTV footage being reviewed
The clash has split opinions in the temple community—some say Sharma disrespected saintly traditions, others feel he was just following the rules.
Both men blame each other for starting the fight.
There's now an official inquiry, with calls for CCTV footage to clear things up.
Temple administrator Pratham Kaushik says they're reviewing evidence and witness accounts to figure out what really happened.
