Thiruvananthapuram: A 36-year-old woman has claimed that she entered the sanctum of Sabarimala and offered prayers at the Lord Ayyappa shrine on Tuesday.
Manju, a native of Chathannoor in Kerala, posted about this in her Facebook account, on a group called ‘Renaissance Kerala towards Sabarimala’.
The pictures available in the Facebook group show the woman had dyed her hair grey in order to appear elderly.
Manju stated, “I started the trip from Thrissur and visited the shrine on January 8. I spent almost two hours at the Sannidhanam. I also sought help from the Akhila Baratha Ayyappa Seva Sangham members who happily helped me to offer prayers.”
Two women of menstrual age entered the hilltop shrine in the wee hours of January 2, which stirred outrage across the state. A Lankan woman below 50 years also succeeded in entering the temple a couple of days later.
