Yes. The temple follows Tantric tradition.
Yup I know that. Looking for some details into the philosophy, rituals, theology etc.
I'm not really interested in the woman thing. That is 100% the right of Hindus to decide.
Cheers, Doc

Here, Diwali marks the death of Dravidian king Narakasura
According to a local belief, Narakasura was a Dravidian emperor who had ruled a massive kingdom that was destroyed in Aryan invasion.
“He was a nature-lover, a son of the soil. His death has to be mourned and his life should be commemorated,” said Naliganti Sharath, a student who participated in commemorating the Asura’s death, on the OU campus.

1) Its in Karnatakayour reply exposes your ignorance of regional cultural variation.
Vijayadashami is observed for different reasons and celebrated differently in various parts of the Indian subcontinent.[6][1][7][3] In the southern, eastern and northeastern states of India, Vijayadashami marks the end of Durga Puja, remembering goddess Durga's victory over the buffalo demon Mahishasura to help restore dharma.[3][8]In the northern and western states, the festival is synonymously called Dussehra (also spelled Dasara, Dashahara). In these regions, it marks the end of "Ramlila" and remembers God Rama's victory over the Ravana.

Clashes as Indian temple prepares to accept women
Nilackal (India) (AFP) - Clashes erupted in India on Wednesday as traditionalists tried to stop women visiting one of Hinduism's most sacred temples, with police waving batons charging stone-throwing protestors.
Devotees opposed to allowing women into the Lord Ayyappa temple at Sabarimala in the southern state of Kerala earlier surrounded and intimidated journalists, including one from AFP.
Two other female journalists were reportedly injured. Even before the police charge, several people had blood streaming down their faces, suggesting further clashes had taken place.
Last month India's Supreme Court overturned a ban on all females of menstruating age -- judged between 10 and 50 -- entering and praying at the hilltop temple.
This enraged traditionalists, including supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), with thousands protesting in the days before the scheduled opening on Wednesday afternoon.
Kerala's state government said it would enforce the court ruling and deployed 500 extra police to ensure free access to the remote complex, which is reached by an uphill trek that takes several hours.
At Nilackal, a base camp below the temple, police cleared protestors early Wednesday morning and arrested seven people who were stopping vehicles.
"Anyone who wants to go to the temple will be able to do so without hindrance," said police chief Manoj Abraham.
"Stern action will be taken against anyone who prevents devotees from going to Sabarimala," Kerala's Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Tuesday.
- Turned back -
One 45-year old woman identified as Madhavi who wanted to enter the temple for the first time abandoned her attempt after activists prevented her climbing the hill, the Press Trust of India reported.
Even though police gave the woman and her family protection and allowed them to move further, they gave up as agitated activists surrounded them, PTI reported.
Biju S. Pillai, a local man in his 30s, was one of those opposed to the court ruling, telling AFP that he returned from working in Dubai to "protect the sanctity of the temple" with his mother and young son.
"No one should be able to change the way this temple has functioned for centuries," he said. "If any change is made they will have to kill us and go over our bodies."
"I am here to protest the Supreme Court decision," said engineer Anisha S., 23, one of a group chanting religious slogans. "We want to save our traditions. Ayyappa needs to be respected."
- 'Impure' -
Women are permitted to enter most Hindu temples but female devotees are still barred from entry by some.
Two years ago, activists successfully campaigned to end a ban on women entering the Shani Shingnapur temple in Maharashtra state.
Women were also permitted to enter Mumbai's Haji Ali Dargah mausoleum, a Muslim place of worship, after the Supreme Court scrapped a ban in 2016.
The entry of women at Sabarimala was long taboo but was formalised by the Kerala High Court in 1991, a ruling overturned by India's Supreme Court last month.
The restriction reflected an old but still prevalent belief among many that menstruating women are impure, and the fact that the deity Ayyappa was reputed to have been celibate.
The Sabarimala chief priest, Kandararu Maheshwararu Tantri, 25, warned this week that "anger could easily escalate into violence if a few egotistical women try to enter".
"I say ego because no devotee who has faith in Sabarimala will try to break the 2,100-year-old rule... Moreover, there are other Ayyappa temples women can visit," the Times of India quoted him as saying.
He claimed to have the support of several "scientists" that concurred with the view that the "positive energy" in a temple can be polluted by the entry of menstruating women.

Did i say everyone will burn ravana ? I said we all celebrate Ram victory over Ravan, ...
Coming to you, First you said Krishna victory over Naraksura is not celebrated in tamil nadu , now you are saying they clebrate but do not burn narakasura, you are mentally retarded sh it...... not everyone will burn and celebrate....During Dasara in some regions 'Krishna victory over naraksura' is Highlighted , in some regions 'Durga' is Highlighted and in some regions 'Ram victory over Ravan' is highlighted.....
FYI, Diwali in the north celebrates Ram's victory in south (Tamilnadu) its commemorates the death of Narakasura. The template is the same - replace krishna with ram and Narakasura with Ravana
and how is burning Ravana is Racism?? Ravana was a Brahmin , Ravan was Shiva's devotee, Ravan had knowledge of Vedas , Ravana was the greatest scholar....
Now You mentally retarded Sh it, go and consult some pshychiatrist...

Satyabhama with Krishna's help killed Narakasura.... his death is celebrated not Birthday , its celebrated everywhere in India..refer post #62 , what I wrote
Deepavali was requested by Naraka sura (if one is to believe the Bhagavata Purana )
Before Narakasura's death, he requested a boon from his mother, Satyabhama, that everyone should celebrate his death with colorful light. Thus this day is celebrated as 'Naraka Chaturdashi' - the day before Diwali.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narakasura
refer to post #53
back to topic, wheres the evidence - Tamils celebrating ram's victory over Ravana ?
Satyabhama with Krishna's help killed Narakasura.... his death is celebrated not Birthday , its celebrated everywhere in India..
Coming to Ravan, Everyone doesnot celebrate publicly or for Publicity ... See #71 Post, In Tamil nadu region 'Krishna victory over Narakasura' is highlighted...
and now stop checking my patience with your Bull sh its , you are repeating same thing again and again even after i have answered...

North Aryan war lords (ram/krishna) were elevated to godhood through the invention of puranas/ithihasa to legitimise their crime against humanity as a war between good and evil.
Anyone can edit Wikipedia, your caption and the content doesnt match...To majority of Tamils, Ravana is their king and hero
Here, Diwali marks the death of Dravidian king Narakasura
https://www.thehindu.com/todays-pap...-dravidian-king-narakasura/article7870968.ece
FYI, Deepavali is an recent imported festival that was imposed on Tamils, theres no mention of deepavali being celebrated by Tamil in sangam literature
