1. Place sign boards disallowing non-Hindus beyond ‘kodimaran’ in temples: Madras HC Bench
The Madurai Bench of Madras High Court has directed the State and the HR and CE Department to install boards in all temples indicating that non Hindus are not allowed into the temple after the kodimaram.
If a non-Hindu wants to visit a deity, then the authorities should obtain an undertaking that the person has faith and would follow the customs and practices of the Hindu religion. The court passes the order on a petition pertaining to the Palani temple.
