Why replace female staff?

Some religious groups, including certain Hindu traditions, observe strict protocols regarding interactions between men and women, particularly in public or formal settings. The decision to replace female staff for the BAPS visit likely stemmed from an attempt to accommodate these specific cultural or religious sensitivities, leading to the "unacceptable" situation at the Eiffel Tower.
