It's hard for me to imagine women being excluded from a house of worship, but that's what the women of Kerala state on the southwest coast of India were protesting today.
They formed a 620km-long wall to show solidarity in support of women having access to the Ayyappa shrine.

The Supreme Court had ruled in favor of women having access, but religious leaders still opposed it.
Thank you to the Huffington Post for reporting on this event.
A good way to start the new year!
