        First of all there is no ban on Women here. Different deities have culture and tradition in my country. for eg there is #Aatukal Pongala where only Women are allowed and No men allowed. The deity here is a Naishtiga Brahmachari. A person should understand culture to respect that.

        We celebrate Navratri twice yearly as well as Durga Puja but yeah sure I am totally certain there's religious reasons foe the ban? Come on India

        It has a religious reason. Deities are considered living entities and temples their home as per Hindu faith (tantra school). This resulted in ban of women to enter in 5 temples(now 4) across India and ban on men to enter in 6 temples across India.

        The verdict is useless limelight verdict though. Not one Keralite (person of Kerala) and devotee filed the petition. They opposed the entry with #ReadyToWait. The one who filed the petition are not devotees so they won't go there. Those who are, won't anyway. Waste of time.

        Go serve beef to Ganesha. All food is nourishing after all. If you cant respect the oath of celibacy of the lord how are you be his devotee?

        Pushkar dont allow man so does kamakhya.Multiple marriage/Durga ceremonies are women only. Exclusion is not always discrimination.

        Feminism is out to destroy Hinduism and culture of india. Why are women not allowed into mosques and covered in burqa head to toe.

        No not on all women but women of age between 10-50 years of age. Good thing that supreme Court changed this rule.
