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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
