After a long crusade by women activists demanding entry to the inner sanctum of the Shani temple in Shingnapur, the temple trust finally granted women devotees passage into the temple on Friday.
This will be the first time in 60 years that women will be allowed to enter the garbhagriha after a decades-long tradition barred women from entering it, and conditionally restricted men too. The temple management committee announced this in order to put an end to a quite long legal battle on gender equality. The Shabarimala Ayyappa temple is also drawing head lines on similar counts..
