Namaste,

The temple trust committee has woken up finally - all Western clothes and tight clothes including Jeans, T-Shirt, Bermudas, skirt, etc to be banned from being worn by females within the temple premises, at Kapaleeswara Temple, TN. At Tiruchendur and Chidambaram temples, already there is a ban on males wearing shirt, similar to the rules still being followed in some Kerala temples. Now Kapaleeswara temple, TN joins them with this rule about female attire, allowing them to be in the temple only in saree and Salwar Kameez. What a relief! Some male bhaktas need not be 'swayed' anymore by the hip-hugging jeans and tight T-shirts of some young female 'devotees' nor these young females need to solicit such glances from the males anymore!

Pranam.
