karnataka high court has ruled that India's secular nature doesn't preclude Dharmic and cultural events. The court overturned a city corporation's denial of permission for a Shankaracharya Jayanti celebration, stating that such activities are both religious and cultural. The court emphasized that what isn't prohibited is permitted, highlighting the intertwined nature of Indian culture and Dharma.
