The clip, whose location and date could not be independently verified, appears to show a bride and groom performing the traditional Sikh marriage ceremony in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji while their pet dog walks alongside them during the laavaan.

The video has triggered criticism online, with many social media users questioning how an animal was allowed inside the venue during the religious ceremony and whether the act violated established Sikh religious norms and decorum.

Several users described the scene as disrespectful to Sikh traditions and the sanctity of the Anand Karaj ceremony. Others urged caution, saying the full context of the video should be established before drawing conclusions.

Anand Karaj is the Sikh marriage ceremony conducted in the presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. During the ceremony, the bride and groom take four ceremonial rounds around the holy scripture while adhering to Sikh religious guidelines and traditions.

The viral clip has reignited discussions about maintaining religious decorum and preserving the sanctity of Sikh ceremonies and places of worship. However, it remains unclear where the event took place and under what circumstances.

Reacting to the video, former Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh, in a video statement, alleged that the incident occurred in Pakistan. He called for strict religious and legal action against those involved if the allegations are found to be true.

He also urged Sikh religious authorities to examine how the ceremony was conducted and whether any violations of established Sikh religious practices had occurred.
