Daily entries capped at 1 lakh: Sabarimala tightens entry rules as crowds swell
The Sabarimala temple in Kerala experienced a surge of two lakh devotees in just 48 hours, prompting stricter regulations by the TDB and police. Daily entry has been limited to one lakh and congestion will be reduced by stopping devotees at Nilakkal.
