The Supreme Court continued hearing petitions linked to the Sabarimala temple entry controversy on Day 13 of the proceedings, with discussions centering on religious freedom, constitutional rights, and the role of faith in Indian society. Justice Nagarathna observed that Indians remain deeply connected to religion and spirituality, adding that India continues to function as a single civilisation bound by certain constants. The hearing once again brought focus to the long-running debate surrounding women’s entry into the Sabarimala temple and the balance between tradition and equality.
