    What's the story

    Breaking the 300-year-old tradition, a group of women activists today entered the Trimbakeshwar temple in Nashik amidst tight security.

    Seven women activists led by the Swarajya Mahila Sanghatana (SMS) president Vanita Gutte were permitted entry. Three of them entered the sanctum sanctorum and offered prayers.

    Agitated locals called for a shut down in the town to express their disapproval over the incident.
