Trimbakeshwar Temple Restricts Men From Entering Core Area

The Trimbakeshwar Temple authorities in Nashik on Sunday imposed a restriction on men’s entry into the sanctum sanctorum of the Lord Shiva shrine with an aim to provide “equal treatment” to both the genders, a trustee said.

The decision, which takes effect on Monday, comes in the wake of the Bombay High Court verdict giving women equal rights with regard to entry into temples.

It was decided on Sunday morning after a board meeting of the Trimbakeshwar Devasthan Trust under Chairperson and District Judge Urmila Phalke Joshi, Lalita Shinde, one of the trustees told reporters.
