Sabarimala showdown: Kerala waits with bated breath as gate of Ayyappa temple opens for all women today

Gates of the famous Lord Ayyappa temple in Sabarimala, Kerala is set to be opened on Wednesday for all women for the first time since the Supreme Court last month lifted the centuries-old ban on entry of females in the 10-50 age group into the shrine. Tension has gripped the southern state as multiple organisations have warned of disruption and 'mass suicides' if the authorities allow women to proceed into the temple.
