An independent probe into the 5 September visit by a BAPS delegation, made during its Paris mandir inauguration, found that BAPS "made no such request". The episode had triggered a staff strike and closure.
Eiffel Tower head Patrick Branco Ruivo will resign at the end of the year after the probe found operational failures.
Why it matters
It rebuts a widely circulated allegation against a major Hindu organisation in Europe.
GK: did you know?
BAPS was founded in 1907 by Shastriji Maharaj.
