Sabarimala showdown LIVE updates: Kerala braces for state-wide bandh today after opening of Lord Ayappa temple without any ban on entry of women

The doors of Sabarimala temple in Kerala opened Wednesday for the first time after the historic judgement of the Supreme Court that lifted the centuries-old ban on entry of women of menstrual age. However, none of this age group could make it to the shrine on Wednesday as protesters opposed their entry. The Sabarimala Karma Samithi has given a call for state wide bandh on Thursday in Kerala against the permission given to the women for entry into the temple.
