The Kolhapur police had passed an order which required Trupati Desai to wear a sari to be able to enter the temple. Desai refused to follow this order, and therefore was stopped from entering the premises.

A smiling Trupti Desai said:

We are going to Mahalakshmi Temple now, we are going there with due respect.

Earlier this month, the Bhumata Brigade had been prevented from entering the core shrine area of the Shani Shingnapur temple in Ahmednagar district.

Following this, the Brigade had filed a contempt of court in the Bombay High Court against the Maharashtra Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis.
