Going to Mahakaleshwar with colleagues even though I don’t follow the faith
So me and a few colleagues from Pune are planning a short trip to Ujjain and obviously Mahakaleshwar temple is on their must visit list
Small twist though I am a Muslim girl and the only non Hindu in the group I am not planning to do any rituals or anything religious I would just be tagging along because we are travelling together and I do not want to sit outside like some awkward outsider while everyone else goes in I respect other people’s faith and honestly I am just curious to see the place with them. But before we go I figured I should ask people who actually know the situation there.
Would it be normal for a Muslim girl to walk in with her colleagues and just look around while they do darshan or is that something that might raise eyebrows with temple rules or locals Not trying to start a religious debate here just trying to avoid landing in an uncomfortable situation during the trip
