Abstract
This research paper critically examines the complex interplay between the right to worship and gender parity, with a specific focus on the Sabarimala issue in India. The study investigates the dual aspects of Sabarimala, considering it both as a sacred tradition and a locus of constitutional rights. Through an analysis of the historical and cultural foundations of the Sabarimala pilgrimage, the research explores the tension between religious customs and the constitutional imperative of gender equality. The judicial pronouncement, particularly the Supreme Court's verdict allowing the entry of women of all ages, is scrutinized to understand its implications on the broader discourse of religious rights and gender justice. Additionally, the paper investigates the post-judgment scenario in Kerala, examining how the legal transformation has affected societal attitudes, religious practices, and the overall dynamics at the pilgrimage site. By navigating the intricate web of tradition, constitutional principles, and post-judgment realities, this research contributes nuanced insights to the ongoing global dialogue on worship rights and gender parity.
