Kochi: In the backdrop of sending the Sabarimala temple case to a large bench in the Supreme Court, the doors of Swami Ayyapa temple in Kerala will be opened today. Temples of the temple will be opened at 5 pm today for the entry of devotees. From today, devotees will be able to see Swami Ayyappa in the Sabarimala temple for almost 2 months.
On Sabarimala case, Supreme Court bluntly said - "Women going to temple will not get security"
The doors of the temple are opening today, but meantime, there is still doubt about the entry of women in the temple. The state government has said that women who want to enter the Sabarimala temple must bring a 'court order'. Kerala's Devaswom Minister K Surendran has said on Friday that Sabarimala is not a place to agitate and the LDF government of the state will not support those who have announced to enter the Sabarimala temple just to get publicity.

Surendran said that there is still doubt about the verdict of the apex court, so whatever women want to enter the temple, they should bring the court order with them. Surendran also dismissed reports about providing police protection to women activists entering the Swami Ayyappa temple. Meanwhile, the Kerala government is also taking legal opinion on the decision of the Supreme Court.
