SANNIDHANAM: Bindu and Kanaka Durga reached Sannidhanam and made darshan of Ayyappa deity through the staff gate used by Devaswom Board employees.

Though they had carried Irumudi kettu with them, they were allowed to enter the temple only through the staff gate.

They made darshan at around 3:30 am on Wednesday. Bindu said they sought the help of police only after reaching Pamba.

Following this, the women entered the temple with the escort of policemen in mufti dress. They reached the sopanam and made darshan.
