The Madras High Court has directed the State government to install boards at the entrance of temples, near the Kodimaram, indicating that non-Hindus were not allowed beyond the Kodimaram of the temples.
If a non-Hindu seeks to visit a particular deity in a temple, the authorities shall obtain an undertaking from the individual that he/she has faith in the deity, and would follow the customs and practices of Hinduism and of the temple.
Whenever a non-Hindu is allowed entry based on such an undertaking, the same shall be recorded in a register maintained by the temple.
It directed to authorities not to allow non-Hindus who do not believe in the religion beyond the Kodimaram.
