No woman applicants for temple priesthood in Kerala
The Hindu
No woman has approached the Travancore, Cochin and Malabar Devaswom boards, which have administrative control over the nearly 2000 temples of the State, with requests for appointment
Priesthood would remain an exclusive male bastion in Kerala for some more time as no woman has sought appointment as priests in the temples managed by the State Devaswom boards. No woman has approached the Travancore, Cochin and Malabar Devaswom boards, which have administrative control over the nearly 2000 temples of the State, with requests for appointment. Incidentally, it appeared that there were no qualified women candidates as none had been formally trained in the temple rituals and poojas at the two government recognised thanthra schools of the State.
