A Muslim women's group on Tuesday came out in support of women's entry into the Shani Shingnapur temple in Maharashtra, charging "male-dominated bodies" which run shrines with bias.
The Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan said it supports demands by Hindu women to be allowed to enter the chabutra or sanctum sanctorum at the well known temple in Ahmednagar.
"We salute the women activists for their democratic protest and assertion of their right to worship in the face of all odds placed by the patriarchal male temple administration," it said in a statement.
