PATHANAMTHITTA: Four transgenders reached Sannidhanam Tuesday morning after getting permission to pray at the Sabarimala temple. A four-member team from Kottayam, Ernakulam and Kollam reached Sannidhanam this morning. We are Ayyappa devotees and have prayed here earlier also, they said. The team held talks with DGP A Hemachandran, a member of the monitoring committee appointed by the Kerala High Court. No one has opposed our visit so far and one from our team has to go abroad for a stage show. They had met IG Manoj Abraham yesterday. They were earlier stopped at Erumeli two days back.

The tantri and members of the Pandalam royal family said that there are no obstruction for them to visit the temple.
