Kerala라이브 바카라 Sabarimala temple in south-central Pathanamthitta district is a famous hill-shrine that doesn’t traditionally permit the entry of women of menstruating age. Reason: the deity, Lord Ayyappa, is believed to be a Naishtika Brahmachari who follows a celibate life.
In the past three decades, this custom has evoked random resistance and protest from various segments of society. And triggered a long legal wrangle.
Hearing the case, the Supreme Court had earlier said that바카라 웹사이트women have the constitutional right to enter Sabarimala temple in Kerala and pray like men without being discriminated. The apex court바카라 웹사이트Court on Friday allowed entry of women of all ages into the Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala in Kerala.

A look at it:

A two-judge bench decrees (on바카라 웹사이트April 5) that the prohibition by the Travancore Devaswom Board that administers the hill shrine does not violate either the Constitution or a pertinent 1965 Kerala law. Reason: the ban was for women (even before 1950, as per the testimony of the vintage temple라이브 바카라 chief priest) between the ages of 10 and 50, not as a class.
