It is sad that the SC gave a verdict which ridicules a custom and belief which is, one does not know how many years old. The Court gave the verdict based on the constitution of India which was written by individuals with limited intelligence. The age old customs would have been defined by people who were equivalent to those who built the Kailash Temple carved out of a mountain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JvqnawI-Es&t=154s
But anyway if we don't recognise the constitution, then we have a problem with other religious customs. Therefore I see this verdict as an opening for removal of all hindu customs. That way we can remove hinduistic rituals from the face of earth. The legal petitions that can be preferred directly to the SC are many since they violate fundamental rights. The cases follow which can be easily won due to the unchallenged verdict on shabarimala.

- Women's entry to Rajarajeshwara temple at Thaliparamba near Kannur. https://www.nativeplanet.com/travel-guide/the-temple-where-women-are-allowed-only-at-night-004056.html. Here, women are allowed only after athazha pooja. This is against the constitutional stand validated by the SC in the case of Shabarimala women's entry. This one is even more serious than shabarimala, since in shabarimala women are restricted based on age; at least women before 10 years and after 50 years can enter. But in this temple all women are disallowed during daytime.
- In all kerala temples only men are instructed to remove their upper wear, like shirt etc. when entering into the chuttambalam. Women are forbidden from doing this. This is a discrimination based on sex and should be rejected based on gender-equality ruled by SC in shabarimala case.
- In all Shiva temples visitors are not allowed to go around the sanctum in full circle. When they reach some drainage (which they call ganga) they are asked to return and come in the opposite direction on the other side of the drainage. This is violation of Fundamental Rights Aricle 19.(d) which insists that "to move freely throughout the territory of India." If the temple claims that it is not in the territory of India then this can be relaxed.
- In all kerala temples "untouchability" is practiced by the priest. During pooja (from morning to evening) the priest cannot be touched by anyone. When the priest comes in and goes out of the sanctum the coterie shouts "move away, move away". If anyone touches him, then he takes a fresh dip in water to purify himself. This is practiced only in Kerala which is against Article 17 of constitution which states that "Untouchability is abolished and its practice in any form is forbidden. The enforcement of any disability rising out of 'untouchability' shall be an offense punishable in accordance with law"
- The courts have observed that "Staring at women for 14 seconds is punishable" says The Hindu dt. August 16, 2016. In all temples where the deity is a female like Durga, Bhadrakali, Dhoomavati, Varthali and the like if men stares at the deity for more than 14 seconds then it is an offence against women as per court ruling given above. So men should be allowed to stand before the deity only for less than 14 seconds.
Similarly there are innumerable issues against Constitution of India practiced in Hinduism. Of course in Christianity and Islam also which the courts have observed to be non-interferable. Only Hinduism can be destroyed by such litigation.
So let us go ahead and file cases in courts.
