Kochi: Two women in their 40s means having mensurational age claimed  on Wednesday that they  visited at the Lord Ayyappa  hilly shrine in Sabarimala .

The women  Bindu  aged 42 is a CPI(ML) activist from Koyilandy in Kozhikode district, and Kanakadurga  aged 44  a civil supplies employee from Angadipuram in Malappuram  stated that they  started climbing the steps to Lord Ayyappa shrine around midnight and  arrived in the temple at 3:45 am for darshan.

"We arrived at Pamba around midnight and proceeded without police protection. We reached Sannidhanam and climbed the sacred stairs. We did not face any protests from any quarters. Devotees were present there but they did not block our way or questioned us," Kanakadurga stated CNN-News18.

It is noted that Police are yet to formally confirm if the two women prayed at the temple.

Worth mention here the women had last year also attempted to hike to Sannidhanam, but were forced to return due to protests. Eleven other women activists of a Chennai-based outfit were protected  from reaching the place of pilgrimage and chased away by devotees chanting Ayyappa mantras.
