Devotees continue to obstruct entry of women at Indian temple

In the Indian state of Kerala, thousands of male devotees have continued to obstruct the entry of women into an 800-year-old temple. 

Earlier this year, the country's highest court ruled that a centuries old tradition that keeps women of menstruating age out is a violation of the fundamental rights of women. Devotees claim that preventing the entry of women is essential since the temple's chief deity is celibate.
