Cult Dance ‘Repulsive to Public taste and Morality’

Category: miscellaneousSteve @ 18:07 pm

The Indian supreme court has banned a Hindu religious cult, the Anand Marg, from staging a dance ritual in public.

The majority vote upheld a state government order from 1987 in West Bengal, which banned the practice due to law and order concerns.

The cult maintains the Anger Dance - or Tandav - involving daggers, snakes and human bones is part of their religion.

The dance routine has been described as repulsive to public taste and morality and likely to cause fear and annoyance.
