The Kamkoteshwar temple on Hanuman Ghat, one of the most sacrosanct temples in Varanasi that wore a bridal look, turned into a fortress with district police, provincial armed constabulary (PAC) and other security personnel standing at its every nook and corner
The haldi rasm (a pre-marriage ceremony) was performed on Saturday at a simple function in the temple complex.
The function had limited guests.
Varun's wedding reception in Delhi, slated for March 8, had been cancelled following the death of his grandmother.
