Transgenders Complete Sabarimala Temple Darshan

Sabarimala: Four transgenders draped in sarees, who were earlier denied permission to visit the Sabarimala temple on Sunday, completed their darshan of the Lord Ayyappa shrine on Tuesday after securing permission a day ago. Arriving at Erumely early in the day, the four devotees from Ernakulam draped in their choice of attire — saree — were given security cover as they started their climb from Pamba at 8 a.m. By 9.45 a.m. amidst tight security, they were on the hallowed 18-steps and completed paying their obeisance to the deity.
