Rules of one temple may not be applicable to another. Yes, Sabarimala has restricted entry for women of certain age, while it doesn't exist in Guruvayur. Purification is being done because that lady was a Muslim, not because she's a woman.
Mallu commies act as if Kerala emerged out of some progressive vaccum. Meanwhile one temple doesn't allow women coz deity is celibate (wow logic) and another is conducting a purification ritual. Cultural specifics of a festival doesn't severe its connection to religion. +
As Bhaarath faces testing times, we offer a heartfelt prayer for our nation. Sharanaagathi—total surrender—is the highest form of faith. Let us bow to Lord Padmanabha, seeking strength & protection.
Rakshamaam Sharanaagatham! 🇮🇳🙏

@huliyaneralu@HHVivartin Yes, as I noted earlier we didn't train cavalry units en masse. The terrain wasn't sufficient for horsemanship. But this doesn't mean it was totally absent. Infantry was preferred by default over cavalry.
@huliyaneralu@HHVivartin Name Kuthiravattom itself is probably related to cavalry however. Kuthira = horse. Kuthiravattom denotes region/place of horses.
@HHVivartin@huliyaneralu Yes, that is true. Though the mountainous terrain of Malabar rendered cavalry units less reliable, something which was noted by Europeans. We didnt train them en masse.
FFS the very name Onam is derived from Sanskrit Shravana, the sacred Nakshatra of Lord Vishnu as per Hindu tradition. At least know the basics.
Anyone can take part in Onam festivities, but I don't get this urge of your ilk to detach it's Hindu heritage.
