    I am of the opinion that there are thousands of Temples all over the place, why can't the public respect the tradition of Shabarimala and allow it to continue. Why create this Chaos ? For ages this tradition was going on in a nice way. Now with the interference of the SC order, very soon we will hear about incidents of immoral behavior.. People fast and stay away from sex for several days before going to the Temple. Women enter the Temple and attention will be shifted and incidents will start happening. Tradition is followed for a reason and respect it. Go to other Temples, after all Temples are all holy places meant for worshiping and devotion.
