A 46-year-old Sri Lankan woman entered the Sabarimala temple late on Thursday night. However, she said she went up the holy steps, but was not allowed to go further.

She had reportedly informed the police that she had reached menopause and also presented a medical certificate.

On Thursday, Hindu traditionalists and activists clashed with the police and political rivals as they took to the streets of Kerala during a dawn-to-dusk shutdown strike to protest against the entry of two women in their 40s into the ancient Sabarimala temple, causing mayhem in several parts of the state and forcing normal life to a halt.
