Perils of today's time: People talking without knowing the full story. The temple in question Sabarimala is closed to everyone who does not follow the ritual related to it. One has to wear certain clothes, no footwear, fast and pray for 40 days before they can enter the temple. The diety inside the temple, Lord Ayyappa, is a celibate God and hence, women between ages to 10-50 are not allowed to visit there. Similarly, there are temples in India where some other group of people are not allowed. For example, in Pushkar, Savitri temple does not allow married men. In Kamakhya, no men are allowed. There are numerous such examples. Numerous other temples have other restrictions like a certain dress code to be followed, a certain offering to be made, a certain time when the temple can be visited only. Such restrictions are there because we treat the residing diety not only as a God but also as a human and these restrictions are there according to the legend associated with the residing diety.

Well this begs the question of should religions and traditions have to change in order to fit modern ideals (eastern and western (it shouldn’t matter))?

I'll be more alive in a few days (and a few days after that, I'm going to her competitions in Germany so I'll be mostly inactive again :d )
