A wedding held at the 200-year-old Gopal Mandir in Madhya Pradesh's Indore has triggered a controversy, with authorities initiating an investigation, officials stated on Monday.

The temple manager has been dismissed, and responsibilities have been removed from a local revenue department official, as authorities aim to address the situation seriously.

Amidst the celebration, locals reported disruptions, and images on social media have sparked concerns over the allowance of such events at the heritage site.
