Lord Ayyappa is Brahmachari

In September last year, the court decided to allow women to enter Sabarimala. The controversy over the entry of women in the 800-year-old Sabarimala temple has been around for a long time. According to mythological stories, Lord Ayyappa is the son of Lord Shiva and Mohini and it is believed that Lord Ayyappa is Brahmachari.
