Earlier in the day, Lord Ayyappa devotees staged protests outside Kottayam Railway Station and other nearby areas of the temple to oppose the entry of these women into the Sabarimala Temple.
As the Sabarimala temple is set to open its door for a special prayer on November 5, Pathanamthitta district collector has decided to impose Section 144 in Sannidhanam, Pamba, Nilakkal, and Elavunkal from November 4-6.
A woman began trekking to Sabarimala hill amid protests by devotees opposing the entry of girls and women of menstrual age into the hill shrine.
