Top advocates are confident that after the Supreme Court's verdict on adultery, it will lift the ban for women between the age groups 10-50 years from entering the temple.

The Sena has called for a 12-hour strike in the state on Monday, ANI reported.

The Sabarimala Temple, considered the abode of Lord Ayyappa, is located in the Periyar Tiger Reserve in the Western Ghat mountain ranges of Pathanamthitta District, Kerala. Justice Malhotra said right to equality conflicts with right to worship of devotees of Lord Ayyappa.

The top court revoked restrictions on women entering the temple following a 20-year legal battle, ruling that patriarchy can not be allowed to trump faith.

Blasey and Kavanaugh are scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about Blasey's accusations on Thursday. Kavanaugh has denied doing this and said he wants to appear before the committee as soon as possible to clear his name.

Accepting the judgment, the temple board said, "Since women who believe in Lord Ayyappa will be coming, we have no choice but to welcome them".

Earlier in August, the Kerala government told Supreme Court that the practice of barring women between the age of 10 and 50 years had no constitutional protection as the temple devotees do not qualify as a distinct religious denomination.

TDB president A Padmakumar also told reporters the board will implement the court's verdict.

While the government has welcomed the verdict, hailing it as a victory for women's rights, the ruling has sparked a debate among different sections. "I don't think women are prepared to undergo the rigorous religious practices before setting out for the pilgrimage", he said.
