THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Travancore royal family has come forward against the Supreme Court verdict allowing women of all ages to enter Sabarimala temple.

“Everything I hear about Sabarimala at present is painful. It is upsetting me that several customs and rituals are being destroyed. All these rituals are holding our culture together and we should not let anyone destroy them”, said Aswathy Thirunal Gowri Lakshmi Bayi.
