Kanakadurga, along with Bindu Ammini, had entered the Sabarimala temple in Kerala on 2 January after a landmark verdict by the Supreme Court made it possible for women between 10 and 50 years to enter the shrine. Kanakadurga, one of the two women who made history by entering the Sabarimala temple in Kerala, was on Tuesday admitted in a hospital at Perinthalmanna in Malapappuram district with injuries after being hit on the head by her mother-in-law. The 39-year-old woman’s mother-in-law had been upset with her for flouting custom to enter the Lord Ayyappa shrine, which was closed to women between 10 and 50 years of age for decades before the Supreme Court lifted the restriction in its September 2018 ruling, reported News18. Kanakadurga, along with 42-year-old Bindu Ammini, had entered the Sabarimala shrine under police protection on 2 January, three months after the Supreme Court gave a historic judgment on 28 September, lifting the ban on the entry of girls and women of menstruating age inside the temple.
