| May 7, 2020 at 5:24 | comment | added | 9bilvapatra | @Amit Saxena- shudras and the avarnas have their own temples specific to their community where they practice their own kind of rituals. Dalits being outside Hinduism how can they become poojari in hindu temples? No. In Agamic temples only varna assigned with that task Brahmin can be a poojari. Of course they can have separate temples as they do presently and conduct worship per their customs. | |

| Apr 17, 2016 at 15:33 | comment | added | Amit Saxena | @PradipGangopadhyay: Could you mention the sources, if possible, of Dalits being trained as priests? | |
| Apr 17, 2016 at 15:32 | comment | added | Pradip Gangopadhyay | A person born in a Dalit family can become a priest from the Varna point of view. I think there are some temples where some Dalits have been given training as priest. | |
