i fail to understand what this lady jayamala wants? its a tempe and there are certain rules. and what a liar. the 10-50 years women not allowed is in practice for ages. so she cant have not heard of it. ...and now see some POLITICIANS are making it a KANNADIGA issue. sorry i am not at all anti kannada or the people. but, WHO is a politician to tell people how to run temple? and if u have a problem then - please do not come over. stay at your home town. after all lord is omnipresent. and if u feel SABARIMALA is anti women, there are hudnreds of other ayyappa temples which allow women. go visit them....once again this is not anti kannadiga at all. you have your rules. others have them too. respect the local customs and then u ar welcome.
