@lavanya itz sad to see that women like you not only putting up with such superstitions but also gloryfying it sayin itz the word of so called god... ayyappa was a brahmachari...but i wud like to see how many devotees wud be existing when all his devotees also turn into brahmacharis...therz something calld reproduction whch the men who are allowed in the temple cannot do own their own. have some self respect nd get a life.
