On Thursday, 6 April, when Kerala polled for Assembly election 2021, it was Sabarimala Ayyappa who was the most talked about.
Even as the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party had made women’s entry into the hill shrine a contentious issue during the campaign, on the polling day, almost every noted political leader of the state ended up commenting on Ayyappa.
The comments were indicative of the general sentiment in the state surrounding entry of women into the temple.

A Supreme Court order of 2018 had allowed women of menstruating age to enter the temple. Ayyappa is believed to be a celibate deity. Traditionally, only girls below 10-years and women above 50-years have been entering the temple.
