• A miracle of modern times and a smriti which is the people's charter of spiritual emancipation." -Mahatma Gandhi on the Temple Entry Proclamation

• November 12, 1936, by Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma, the ruler of the Princely State of Travancore.

• The proclamation abolished the historic ban on low-caste Hindus entering Hindu temples across Travancore. It is widely regarded as a watershed moment in Kerala's social reform movement.

• Gandhi's Reaction: Mahatma Gandhi, who had long campaigned against untouchability and visited Kerala multiple times (including during the Vaikom Satyagraha), hailed the proclamation as a historic step toward spiritual equality and social justice.
