General19769 sections

The Shri Govindaji Temple (Amendment) Act, 1976 updates the legal framework managing the administration of the historic Shri Govindaji Temple in Manipur. It affects the temple management board, traditional ritual institutions known as Loishangs, temple staff, and the state government. The law regulates board governance by setting a three-term limit for the government-appointed board president, brings traditional service bodies under the board's supervision, and permits government funding for major projects and emergency festival expenses. Additionally, it preserves historical customs by allowing temple staff to be paid in kind, balancing modern administrative oversight with cultural traditions.
