A video of Bageshwar Dham head priest Dhirendra Shastri making remarks about Lord Krishna’s appearance, posture and flute-playing has sparked controversy, prompting him to apologise. Shastri made the remarks during a Ram Katha in Karera, Shivpuri district, while comparing the physical appearance and mannerisms of Lord Krishna and Lord Ram. He also contrasted their respective abodes, Ayodhya and Vrindavan, and questioned the significance of Krishna’s flute-playing.
