On October | On October 18, 2018, Suhasini Raj attempted to visit the [[Sabarimala]] which is a famous [[Ayyappan|Ayyappa]] pilgrim centre located in [[Kerala]]. It was following the Supreme Court verdict to allow entry of all women to Sabarimala irrespective of age.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/supreme-court-allows-women-to-enter-sabarimala-temple/articleshow/65989807.cms|title=Women of all ages can enter Sabarimala Temple, rules Supreme Court|last=Rautray|first=Samanwaya|date=2018-09-29|work=The Economic Times|access-date=2018-10-18}}</ref> However devotees stopped her midway with prayer chants as it was against Sabarimala tradition for ladies between 10 and 50 years of age to enter [[Sabarimala]], and she was escorted back down hill. She alleged that the protesters manhandled her and pelted her with stones. She is facing online abuse and threats ever since the incident.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://english.manoramaonline.com/news/kerala/2018/10/19/suhasini-raj-sabarimala-shock.html|title=Suhasini Raj's first interview after Sabarimala shock: I never expected this from Kerala|work= Manorama online}}</ref> | ||
