Nashik temple bans sanctum entry of men too
Trimbakeshwar Temple in Nashik on Sunday imposed a restriction on men's entry into the sanctum sanctorum aiming to provide "equal treatment" to both genders. The decision follows the Bombay High Court verdict giving women equal right to men with regard to temple entry. Authorities of the temple, one of the 12 'jyotirlingas', also defended the ban on women entry.
