General20238 sections
This Act amends the Nathdwara Temple Act, 1959, to expand the Board's control over deities and locations, including those in Uttar Pradesh and Baithakjis across India. It changes the Board's structure by making the eldest son of Goswami an ex-officio member and allowing the State Government to appoint a Vice President. The legislation also establishes a specific succession rule for the President's position, prioritizing the eldest son, followed by the wife or daughter, and then a male from the Tilkayat Lineage if no son is available. Finally, it permits the Board to lease land for renewable energy projects like solar plants with state government approval.
