Two Indian women made history entering a Hindu saint in the state of Kerala after several months of protests against such an act.
The Sabarimala temple has been historically closed to women of the 15-year-old menstrual”, respectively, between 10 and 50 years old.
The Supreme Court has overturned this stop, but protesters have then attacked women and prevented them from entering the temple.
The women's entry into the temple triggered new protests, and police used tear gas at several locations in Kerala.
Bindu Ammini, 40, and Kanaka Durga, 39, entered the morning.
Kerala's prime minister, Pinarayi Viyayan, whose government supports the Supreme Court ruling, told reporters that women's entry into the temple is a historic moment.
The temple is located on top of a steep hill, and each year millions of devout people travel, often barefoot, to visit it.
Hinduism views women as unclean and prevents them from engaging in religious rituals. /rel
