No entrance - Nayantara

Kumbakonam(TN), Apr 18 Hindu Makkal Katchi (HMK) today sent a parcel containing sari to south Indian film actress Nayanthara to protest against her visit to Killikavu Amman temple near Ottapalam in Kerala wearing salwar kameez.
The parcel, addressed to the actress, was sent to the Tamil Nadu South Indian Actors’ Association, HMK sources said.
Nayanthara, who went to the temple on Wednesday, was reportedly prevented from entering the temple by the authorities and devotees for ‘violating the dress code’ as women normally wear sari while entering temples in south India.
She was also reportedly asked to apologise before allowing her to leave the temple premises without worshipping.
HMK also ‘advised’ the actress to behave like a Tamil woman and not to degrade Tamil culture, the sources said.
HMK General Secretary Ramamurthy had last year filed a case against south Indian actress Kushboo for allegedly causing disrespect to the idols of Hindu goddess. - Agencies


For me as long the ladies does not expose their body. But of course i understand some temples comes with rules saying ladies strictly need to wear Saree. Very sad Nayanthrara cause her love for temples is well known & She makes it a point to visit all the famous temples near her locations.

No comment. I really don't know what to say on this.

Hinduism needs reengineering. Some rituals seriously need to be discarded. As for the post, it's not Nayan's fault but the fault lies in the eyes of the beholder.
