Trupti Desai plans to storm Nashik temple
After an unsuccessful attempt at Shani Shingnapur in Ahmednagar district, now Pune-based women’s group Bhumata Brigade has decided to storm the famous Trimbakeshwar temple in Nashik on the occasion of Mahashivratri festival on Monday.

However, the Trimbakeshwar temple trust has written to the Bhumata Brigade not to commit any act against the age-old traditions and to the police and local administration for stopping the Bhumata Brigade. Some Hindutva groups have vowed to prevent the women’s group from entering the temple.
Ms Trupti Desai, who heads the Bhumata Brigade, said, “We are not against the Hindu traditions, but we would continue to oppose wrong traditions. We want gender equality. If the constitution has given equal rights to men and women, they why such practices of not allowing entry to women still on,” she said. About 200 women would reach Nashik by 2 pm on Monday, and agitate against the wrong practice.
