Amala Paul Was Not Allowed To Temple Citing She Is Christian

Actress Amala Paul visited the Thiruvairanikulam Mahadeva Temple located in Ernakulam, Kerala on Monday with her family for Sami Darshan. The temple administrators said that there is a practice that only Hindus should go there. Amala paul then stood outside the temple and had darshan.

Regarding this, in the visitor's register of the temple, she mentioned, "I came to the temple with interest to visit the temple. Permission was denied. It is sad and disappointing that religious discrimination still exists in 2023. I hope there will be a change in religious discrimination soon. There will come a time when everyone will be treated equally, not on the basis of religion."

Prasoon Kumar, administrator of the temple foundation, said, "The devotees of other religions come and go to the temple. They don't even know about it. But if celebrities are allowed then everyone will know. Then it will be disputed that the procedure has been violated. That is why it is not allowed."
