The entry of women into a famous temple devoted to Lord Shani or Saturn in Maharashtra will drive more rapes, a senior religious leader has said. Shankaracharya Swaroopanand's comment comes just days after the temple ended a centuries-old ban on women being allowed to offer prayers at the open-air platform where the idol is placed in the Shani Shingnapur shrine in Maharashtra.
