Shrine  

Bindu and Kanakadurga filed a plea in the apex court stating that they are facing life threats after trekking to Sabarimala shrine. Thus, they sought full-time security. 
 

The BJP is planning to end their hunger strike after the Sabarimala shrine closes this season, media reports state. The Ayyappa devotees can have darshan till January 19 at Sabarimala. The shrine will reopen on February 12 for the monthly puja in Kumbam Masam (February to March).

 

In a video released on Wednesday, a Yuva Morcha activist alleged that the complaint lodged by Kanakadurga, one of the two women who entered Sabarimala, accusing her mother-in-law of beating her up was fake.
 

The women tried to enter the Sabarimala with a seven-member team, sent by a Facebook group titled ‘Navodhana Keralam Sabarimalyilekku’. Ayyappa devotees from Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu stopped the women of menstruating age, who tried to enter the shrine. 

One of the two women who entered Sabarimala on January 2, Kanakadurga reached her house on January 15, only to be beaten up by her mother-in-law. It is reported that Kanakadurga was admitted to Perinthalmanna taluk hospital regarding this attack.
 

Bindu from Kozhikode and Kanakadurga from Malappuram entered the Ayyappa shrine with the help of police officials. The chief priest of the Sabarimala temple had closed the doors of the temple for performing purification rites after it was confirmed that Bindu and Kanakadurga entered the temple.  

The 36-year-old Manju entered the Sabarimala temple on January 8. She entered the shrine alone and had the darshan of Lord Ayyappa at 7:30 pm on Tuesday

The Kerala Police themselves took three women to the famous shrine for darshan. And at the same time, the cops arrested three women, who tried to enter the Vavar mosque. Pinarayi Vijayan government's hypocrisy comes to light.

The incident happened at the route usually taken by Ayyappa devotees who perform petta thullal (historic ritualistic dance) at Erumeli and reach Sannidhanam via Karimala. Nineteen more pilgrims were travelling to the shrine with Paramasivam

Sabarimala has turned out to be an issue that raises the debate on right to equality and right to religion, says Mohandas Pai, in an exclusive interview to MyNation. Why doesn't CPI(M) stand for issues like the nun rape case or the beliefs of Ayyappa devotees?

 

Director Aditya Dhar said the intention of his directorial debut "Uri: The Surgical Strike" is not to show Pakistan in the bad light but to focus on the issue of terrorism. Spin legend Shane Warne on Friday criticised the Australian team picked for the three-match ODI series against India. All this and more on MyNation in 100 seconds.

The Kerala Police said that Sasikala had entered the shrine on Thursday evening. Police released CCTV footage, which portrays where Sasikala can be seen walking in the Sannidhanam at Sabarimala.
