Triputi, who had earlier tried to enter the sanctum, was detained at a place called Nandur Shingote near Pune-Nashik border in Maharashtra.


The Trimbakeshwar Devasthan Trust in Maharashtra has maintained that the women devotees can be allowed into the famous Lord Shiva temple's sanctum sanctorum for an hour everyday, but with a rider that they must wear wet cotton or silk clothes while offering prayers in the core area.


“There is no discrimination between men and women, we allow entry inside inner sanctum for 1 hour, fromm 6am to 7am. We allow entry of women only if they wear wet cotton or silk clothes,” Temple trustee Lalita Shinde had told ANI.
