The Supreme Court ended a ban that prevented women of the menstrual age from entering the #Sabarimala Temple in Kerala. Right to worship is given to all devotees and there can be no discrimination on the basis of gender: Chief Justice of India Dipak Misra.

Main Highlights :-

We will go for a review petition after getting support from other religious heads: Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) president, A Padmakumar, on Supreme Court allows entry of all women in Kerala’s #Sabarimala temple.


"Religious practices can't solely be tested on the basis of the right to equality. It's up to the worshippers, not the court to decide what's religion's essential practice" Justice Indu Malhotra, dissenting judge. 

So Supreme court who let humans decide about their choices in section 377 & 497 wants Lord Ayyappa in the form of naishtika brahmchari at Sabarimala,a form of eternal celibate to change his preferences. Ironical! Geetika Swami @SwamiGeetika
