Sabarimala, the Ayappa shrine is in news these days. But there are temples which have restrictions on men:
Kamakhya Temple, Vishakapatnam: Men barred from entering the temple of the Goddess for four or five days in a month. The Goddess is out of bounds.
Brahma Temple, Pushkar: Men barred from entering sanctum sanctorum, perhaps because the deity is celebate.
Kumari Amman Temple, Kanyakumari: Married men cannot enter the sanctum sanctorum. This is the place where Mother Parvati is supposed to have performed penance for getting Shiva as her husband.
Goddess Temple, Muzaffarpur: Men barred for four or five days in a month. Goddess out of bounds.
Indian temples where men can't enter on certain days
In some Devi temples, men go dressed as women to get boons from the Goddess or to say thanks for fulfillment of their wishes, like in Yellamma temple in Saundatti-Yellamma. The Goddess is also revered by LGBTQ. The same is done in Iravan temples in Tamilnadu.
