During the community meeting, Shikarpura’s Gadhipati Dayaramji Maharaj said that among the Hindus, only sages and saints have to grow beard and it does not look good when the youth of the society grows beard. “That’s why he should not grow a beard. That’s why youths who roam around with beards have been warned against and asked to get rid of them.”
Other decisions of the community include banning the consumption of luxury items on the 12th and 13th day of the mourning period in case of death in the Chaudhary-Anjana community, calling on caterers to cook and serve a party, calling on a DJ.
