Complaint Regarding Discriminatory Treatment at Statue of Belief, Nathdwara
I visited the Statue of Belief in Nathdwara with my family, hoping to have a peaceful and joyful time together. Being from Gujarat, I had come to my in-laws’ house especially to make this trip. I live with a disability in my left leg and use a caliper to walk — it is my support and allows me to move independently.
From the very beginning, I was falsely assured at every ticket counter and gate that my disability would not be an issue. I repeatedly asked before purchasing tickets, yet at each stage, they sold us tickets without informing us of any restrictions.
But when we reached the Shiva Murti, they stopped me. First, they told us to remove our shoes and socks — we did. Then they told me I couldn’t go up with my caliper on. They insisted I take it off, not understanding that without it, I can’t walk. Despite explaining that my caliper ( which is made up of plastic and metal only) is essential due to my 60% disability, the staff were adamant and unkind, showing zero empathy. They insisted to remove it, which would have put my safety at risk.
Their words weren’t just rules — they were knives. The staff showed zero empathy, made my family cry, and gave senseless arguments. They had sold us tickets knowing they would later stop me.
There were no signs saying people with calipers are not allowed. No warning. No apology. Just humiliation. There were no signs anywhere stating that people with disabilities who use a caliper are not allowed. This lack of transparency and the insensitive behaviour of the staff turned what should have been a spiritual and memorable day into an experience of harassment and exclusion.
I went for faith, for peace, for a memory with my loved ones… but I returned feeling small, excluded, and hurt.
No person with a disability should have to fight for dignity at a place of devotion. Please share this story so change can happen — so the next time a person like me visits, they are met with respect, not rejection. 🙏
Avoid visiting this place if accessibility is your priority, as this place is not disability or special needs friendly, and not even suitable for senior citizens.
