- In this episode I visit the World's Richest Temple, Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala India where I was denied entry for not having a "Hindu Certificate" despite the unpleasant experience, I still had a beautiful evening.

I live near the temple. They are not allowing you to take videos because there were multiple terrorist threats for this temple. The positivity inside the temple is just massive. Its a huge idol of ananthashayana (Lord vishnu in sleeping form) the idol just humbles you and you feelings something infront of padmanabhan which I cant actually express... Its something else
Its okay, there are some temples in India where only practicing hindus are allowed. recently many incidents of sacrilege & inappropriate behaviour have been reported at hindu places of worship. these are some of the cautionary measures taken to protect the sanctity of the place. 🙏🏼
Really??? That's sad to hear about such behaviours as temples.
What incidents and who caused those?
That is called discrimination
@@costealucia5357 temple & idol desecration is very common in the subcontinent by those who are opposed to idolatry. there are plenty of incidents you can search for on Google.
In recent times there's also an increasing trend of treating temples as picnic spots, for example, recently at a temple in Karnataka ppl were spotted with alcoholic drinks & non-vegetarian foods.
@@JSK3344 and destroy hindus temple is secularism
Jessica, your love for India and hinduism is really genuine. In fact, it is more genuine than many Indians who have been living here since birth.
Anay I TOTALLY AGREE. Jessica resonates well with Hinduism.
I am a British Indian woman who did solo travel vlogging for 3 whole years in India. I visited temples more often than some people who were born and raised in India. I love the meanings of the different gods. After 2 and a half years in South India I travelled to the Himalayas and their pre dominant religion was Buddhism. At that point in my journey I realized that Hinduism was what I truly resonated with. ❤️
@@travellingyoginikas Thanks for sharing your amazing experience in India. I'm so happy to know that you've explored different places in India and have some really good memories. More power to you. Best wishes
@@Anany_Dixit thank you. You are welcome to see my CZcams channel about my travels in India and my explorations of Hinduism of you wish 👌
@@travellingyoginikas definitely. I've subscribed to it. Thank you! 😊
@@Anany_Dixit wow THANK YOU Sooooo MUCH INDEED. I hope you enjoy the vlogs.
Namaste 🕉️
Dont worry ! Even srila Prabhupada was denied entry in jaganath temple ,
But then he started ratha Yatra in whole world,for everyone...
Krishna will bless you ..
There are some historical reasons why foreigners are not allowed as there were many invasions in india due to which thousands of temples were destroyed..
srila Prabhupada was denied entry in jaganath temple, really, and why was that?
yes many temples were attacked, looted and demolieshed by Abhramic ideology belivers but it was in past. This is 21st century, with social media and 1.2 billion sanatan dharma follwers. I think temples should allow Non-hindus too. Meanwhile Temple will allow communist hindu, leftist hindu, Athesit hindu but they will deny entry to those who belive in God.
Srila Prabhupada himself was not denied entry, but his shishya (disciples) were denied. As you correctly stated, these laws came in after some historical incidents of defacement and theft from the temples. They must adjust these laws now, especially for ISKCON devotees who are well known everywhere across India and the world.
Jagannath temple even denied entry to famous ministers who were in power then. They strictly against using temples for politics and other uses... Srila prabhupada was not denied but was not allowed to enter with all that crowd... Infront of jagnnath you are nothing but a visitor to his home, everyone is same to him.
Even former PM of india Indira Gandhi was denied to enter Jagannath temple Puri
That temple is highly protective especially against foreigners because it has alot of wealth.
Not that reason
The ganesh temple you went is where we locals od Trivandrum starts all our long journeys, both on road and life. He keeps the obstacles and dangers away... 🥰...
Jessica please visit Northeast India 🇮🇳.. love from 🇺🇸 USA .
Beautiful temple, our culture is rich and we proud of our Temples,the Saviors 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Happy Mahashivratri Jessica ji 🚩🕉️ om namah shivaya 🙏
We love our lives
Beautiful, thank you very much, I hope to see more videos like this!
Thank you Jessica, to display everything for us
I respect your way of living.
Stay blessed and happy.
Keep on smiling 😄
Sumait omg me 2. I definitely respect Jessica's way of living and how she stays true to herself. Similar to Jessica I did 3 years of solo travel vlogging in India. It was the BIGGEST growth that I have ever experienced in my entire life.
Jackfruit, so delicious 🙏🏼 and the Ayurveda resort is a gem. I remember sometimes needing to go to a place where there would definitely be a courteous treatment after some full on situations in India. Good going ❤🧡
Linda I LOVED jackfruit during my time in India. Yes Jessica definitely found the right place for ayurveda. In the past I have received ayurveda amongst the chaos and that's disastrous. In fact I can't believe India runs ayurveda centres in the middle of such chaos hahahaha 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄 but hey India... It is what it is I guess. The quieter the place the more you would get out of your ayurvedic treatments. I did do solo travel vlogging for 3 whole years in India. It was an experience like no other!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sorry to hear that, lemme talk to the authorities, just wait right there 😎😀
🤣🤣🤣 I’ll be waiting..
@@JessicaSavano please try to understand why this law is made because when india was a colonial state foreign invades have destroyed temples so to save temples this law is made .sorry to hurt you sister
@@abi-wg4jt it's okay, Lord Krishna lives in my heart, no need to prove anything to anyone.
13 days !! Are you still talking to authorities bruh??
Trivandrum looks like a fascinating place, and the powder massage looks interesting! I'll be sure to bring a Hindu certificate if I ever visit!
Some important older Hindu Vedic temples like this one or the 4 Dhams have strict rules because of past terrorism threats, even flying drones or planes is prohibited.
u can visit regular temples without any problems though. 🕉
I have never heard of a certificate to show you’re Hindu. I’ve been Hindu for over 5 years and never had that requested to get into anything. That’s new to me!
You can not be a hindu, you must born hindu. Its like jewish.
@@19859999 No, anyone can become a Hindu. It's not like Judaism in that sense. Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) has always had history of being adopted many regions across the world, especially in Asia.
There are some older temples that put in these laws after episodes of defacement and theft, as they had precious items in the sanctum. These older temples need to adjust their rules for well known entities like ISKCON now. I think that is in the works.
@@AO-xd2ml so in which caste they will be?? Core of Hinduism is the caste based life Circle. Anyone can say am Hindu, but actually not.
@@19859999 bro but why..if Krishna is the creator of all humanity than why Western can't be hindu.. please be open..Our Culture is Atithi_devo_bhawa..
Jessica you are so kind heart person.
Even former PM of India- Indira Gandhi was denied to enter Jagannath temple puri . But god can listen us through our love and pray from anywhere
Please so not complain...ur on a journey...if its just for eyeballs , u wont be the first or unique....welcome to Ma Bharat..Be!
Kerala seems to have these "regulations" more than any other state. Maybe there is a history of theft, since these temples often sustained highly valuable items. Unfortunately many artifacts have been stolen from India over the last 100 years. The Annapurna murti that was stolen from Varanasi several decades back, was recently retrieved from Canada apparently. I expect these regulations to change for ISKCON devotees, as they are well known entity now.
Your all vlog are amazing..✨
Glad you like them!
It's a culture and traditions that we preserve... please try to understand
Oh stupid asking certificate for enter to the temple is it culture?? Brainless idiots, just imagine if God ask religious certificate to pray for him in Hinduism 🤣
Hi Jessica,
I understand that how was you feeling. Good things take time. By the way you are looking so gorgeous.Please visit to North india also like shimla and manali, dharamshala (Haryana) Haridwar (Holy place) Rishikesh (Uttrakhand) as you know winter ends to come in India. So, you missed seeing snowfalls in India. Take care. ❤
Please don't mind, but a lot of local and American Christian missionaries keep trying to trick Hindus into converting, especially in and outside temples posing as tourists. And there are instances when Islamists have tried to desecrate temples. That's why entry of non Hindus is restricted.
any proof for this? this is just racism and discrimination
Oh okay, I guess may be Hindu women also are converting people to other religion that's why they are not allowed entry to many Temples, its double conversion if you are a Dalit Hindu Women 🤔🤔.. Nice way of hiding Bigotry blame it on religious conversions 🤣🤣 Get well soon you sick bigot 🤢🤮
Lol. You must be not from kerala. And def that's not the reason
@@sarathkumars7962 Wrong assumption. I'd love to understand from you what the reasons are, though.
I've lived a major part of my life in Kerala. Aside from the fact that temples are not tourist places for non Hindus to stroll about and take pictures, there have indeed been instances when commies looking for cheap publicity have tried to pull stunts like Rehana and that Bindu.
Hah you is comedy🤣
Your driver should have known about the temple entry rules .everyone knows
Sorry 🙏🏻🙏🏻 apologies from an Indian whatever you have faced... 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
When I was in Tamil Nadu 2018 non domicile persons (my plea was I had studied Hinduism and Sanskrit too) were bared from the sanctum area but I could walk around the precincts of the complex Gopurams.
Beautiful hectic
You can visit Ujjain Mahakal Temple in Madhya Pradesh.
We welcome 🙏 again vists in india.last time u here in corona time in Goa resorts. Namaste jissca ji .USA.
Incredible blog
The ladies at the spa saved the day:)...really great girls.
totally! :)
sending positive vibes from Fiji
I love you so much jassica ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ most welcome in india ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The intro were a little horrible but beautiful when you discussed about mysterious temple ❤️
Hare Krishna 🙏🏻 When are you planning to visit Vrindavan and Mayapur?
No worries lovely..........There are tonnes of other great temples pan India
so sorry that u could not enter. however do try it next time u visit. i was there last month.
What’s the name of the Ayurvedic Resort you stayed at? That looks cool. ❤
You should have stayed for another week. You could have experienced the worlds largest gathering of women at attukal temple, near to all the places you went. Its a huge festival...
Hay may paipe Jessica.happy falentine love
Hare Krishna 🤗🤗🤗🤗Hari Bol 🥰🥰😂😂
You can enter once you convert to Hinduism. There are some rules that you need to follow in a temple. It's not a tourist spot
Jessica is already Hindu.
@@philip-at-tube so was Winston Churchill
@@Clusterpound I saw your comment saying Winston Churchill was a Hindu. Really? Are you sure? A quick google search suggests that Winston Churchill hated Hindus. Jessica, by contrast, seems to love Hindus. ❤
God is everywhere, fortunately, a bulding is just stone, void of sanctity....goodluck with the fake Gods.
@@costealucia5357 You are ignorant to core.Hindu also believes Parabrahma,meaning God every where..
Har har mahadev... Sistar...
Beautiful temples
Really sorry for you but actually this for the hindu community. For instance the brihadeeshwar temple/ tanjavur periya kovil has made into a tourist destination for everyone and recently a video came out where a women in hijab and another women eating chicken biriyani inside the temple. They literally made it into a picnic spot. This is why such places are kept for only hindus. Thank you to kerala hindus for keeping sanctity of these temples unlike those government and people in brihadeeshwara temple... 👍🏼
Also there are are a million like you in Banaras ,Varnasi without a camera vlog , who have assimiliated, without being a victim
These rules have been brought recently at some temples. Mainly because previously there have been many disrespectful incidents and videos by foreigners. But you can get a certificate from HRCE dept after signing a declaration that you respect Hindu gods
lovely
Please don't worry god is in your heart and God bless you every time ignore that useless people
I love your Life. Philippines
Beautiful Lady ❤️

i love you..jessica from karnataka
The Padmanabhaswamy temple rules are very strict even for Hindus, you will be denied entry unless you are dressed to temple authorities expectations and traditions .but there are plenty of other Hindu temples in Tamil Nadu and other states where there is no similar restrictions. I feel very sorry for these travelers who practice Hinduism but are denied entry just because of their racial identity ( non Indian). this is unfortunate.
Why??? Dude that's the richest temple in the world. Keralam temples follow strict rules. It's for protecting the temple.😊
What equipment did you use to shoot it?
She used a camera 🎥
Temples are our best faith
South Indian temples are very strict and traditionalist. I won't comment if it is correct or wrong, as I am no one to judge. I'll just say that in Kolkata, foreigners can enter the famous Kalighat and Dakkhineshwar temple. Jessica, you should visit Kolkata someday, as Mayapur, the HQ of ISKCON world over is around two hours away from Kolkata. Also you'll get awesome food to try out at Kolkata. Visit our City of Joy someday.
Yes, Mayapur Dham is a place that she should definitely visit. Mayapur Dham, Vrindavan, Dwarka and several others that she would really enjoy.
You are right..A Keralite Christian or Muslim can enter the temple if he wants. No one can immediately understand whether he is a Hindu or not.. But a foreigner can be understood immediately... One needs to be so clean and clean to enter the temple.. Even if a foreigner says that I am a Hindu, no one can believe it immediately... I am a Kerala Christian. We women do not go through the public road near the temple of Mahadeva near my house during menstruation. In that temple is the deity of Mahadev in his fierce form.. Fish meat is never taken through that route.. We respect those rules.
I was able to enter into Kashi Viswanath only because I was with my Guruji and dressed respectfull....
As much as you appreciate Dharma you must remember that in the last 800 years the good people of India have been invaded and looted systematically over centuries -only just got a leader that will protect the practice from outside invaders and colonialists.
You're not the only ones invaded and looted, but seems you're the only ones who demand certificate to attect ....faith. This is so wrong on so many levels, i feel sorry for those of different faith that have to live in India, they have same rights as any Hindu out there.
I love ❤️ my life love from shimla city to your video
From nagpur maharashtra india 🇮🇳🇮🇳
Im sorry you had a bad experience over there please dont let this upset you
Walking to the entrance in a cat walk manner shows how genuine you are. Energy is perfectly fine, plenty of signs telling you no camera, photographs permitted. What did you not seem to understand? It's written in English as well.
These types of tourists should only go to Kovalam, Aleppy, Munnar, etc..why bothering about temples if they can't keep the sanctity..?
Travel guides are the ones mainly responsible for this..
those who are saying it's ok. nope it's not. if anyone has converted to sanatan dharma they should be allowed inside it. it is hypocritical not to allow them.
Some North East people of India are not allowed in some temples in India. It's ok traveling. Try next time with certificate
I have subscribed to your channel
Nice
Come to kerala village
Jessica in India 28 states are here each status are there on language in kerala local language call malayalam if you ask what is your name ningalude peru entha please try this
That temple is protected like this for centuries thats why its the richest one ...
I was in Trivandrum couple of weeks ago, did not bother going here. I would totally recommend going to Taj near the Kovalam beach. Especially walk to the Bait restaurant on the beach at Taj. Had a lot of fun!
In Kerala , Padmanabha Temple Trivandrum, Guruvayoor Temple Thrissur is not allowed Non Hindus ! 🙂
Why don't you try Shillong Meghalaya and the entire northeast India? Jesica

You are looking so beautiful and lovely and pretty
Oh thanks
Jessica I visited this temple on Christmas day in 2020. I got in!!! I didn't need to show any evidence of being Hindu. They were strict and were very confused about me as I'm an Indian lady with a British accent lol 😄 I guess it might have got stricter now as times have moved on. Sorry u didn't gain entry. I spent 3 consecutive years travelling around India so iv learnt how to say no to selfies and unwanted attention. Hahahahaha 😄
They just thought you are padhalikha indian ! Are you still Hindu by blood!! Ain't you??
@@fukukforever yes
@@travellingyoginikas you don't need any kind of certificate or papers then!!
@@fukukforever no. I can live in either UK or India as my parents are Indian. (I was born and raised in UK). So I have citizenship in both countries. Re British passport and Indian oci card
@@travellingyoginikas i mean ! You don't need any certificate or papers that says you are hindu or not! You're parents are indian! You are indian as well! And hindu by born!!
🙏🙏🔱🔱🔱🚩🚩🚩
Jessica, in Indian Vedic culture, Women are considered as living Symbol of Goddesses, and it is believed she is the Kinetic, creator of this Universe...You are most welcome to Visit various temples that honour Goddess and worship them... That represents "True India".
Some digression because of various types of interpretations, so honestly these rules are implemented are not in line with old Indian traditions. This conservative and closed India evolved very recently in the last 1000 odd years or so, India's Vedic Culture origin dates back thousands of years pre-that...
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Jessica there are some temples which are restricted for foreigners in South, plz enquire before visiting, if you enter by mistake security people may be harsh 😌
Your religion seems very welcoming.....not.
@@costealucia5357 it's not a religious matter!! Better know the history of this rule! Btw! Hinduism don't give anyone a rice bag!!
Very sad to know because there are still some places that follow orthodox practices.
You filmed inside Ganesha temple that too straight in front of the main idol !!!
We were waiting for the doors to open. Main idol wasn’t exposed yet.
U respect, love and practice ❣️ Hinduism
So please respect rules in temples
These rules protected temples for centuries from invaders
Please respect
Jai shree Krishna
Nice video dear and you all so I am all video voching and coment by you but will not reply me any why,👍
did the local driver not know this ??? some temples r very strict ,,, other foreigner u tubers were also not allowed in this temple i think ... (julie from germany )🤔🤔🤔sorry for their aggressive behaviour
In kerala temples some of them very strict not allowed non Hindus. I remember in 1980 s Indian PM rajiv gandhi visited guruvayoir temple with wife soniya gandhi they only allowed rajiv gandhi inside temple soniya stand outside just because of she not following Hinduism.. Even ISKON devotees not allowed inside some of the temples of they are foreigners.. Don't worry if u are worshiper you can pray outside temple god will hear u.. Only 10 percent of temples only have this strict rules.. All others will allow you to enter if you are following other religion also..
I suppose there needs to be a bit of resistance to enter the richest... Maybe it's an issue when the last time someone from the outside went in, and they might still be reeling from it's effects. Out of all the outsiders, I do think you should be allowed, also maybe it's the camera, hope that didn't spoil your experience. But hey you still had a good day 😌
What outsiders you talk about? The last ones were the Brits, and that was because u were colonized for 200 yeras or more, in the rest, who came there to steal or do bad things?
Dear Madam, please don’t take is personally, in Hinduism, after installation of idol, and praana Prathishta of the deity is completed , it’s very important that the aura of the idol is not compromised. Because most white people eat beef , their body aura can disturb the aura of the deity , it’s a mleccha act. Hence they ban foreigners, but ironically in Kerala 60% of Hindus eat beef , so given present circumstances, they can relax such rules for foreign people and let everybody in….this is Kaliyuga , so such rules are not required
How can Hindus in Kerala a Hindu can eat beef ?? Shocking
Shameless auto drivers..they should beg instead of cheating foreigners....
Jessica you are so beautiful 😻
This is a big issue in India that no one talks about. I hope you had a good time visiting other places!!!!!!
What issue? Temples do not allow visitors or how?
Temples are not for views
what's the issue here?
Y should they let everyone ....
It's not a tourist place
Jaisika mam I wait thirsty your video every moment love watch your video apka lovely raj always wait you
Iam really sad for you .
Get a hindu certificate first then you can visit any temple in india madam
Certain Temples don't allow non believers inside like Mecca Madinah. Temples are for devotees ,not for tourists. It's not a tourist place. It's a place for workship. People should respect the temple and management decisions. If you are a genuine believer go and visit normal temples most them allow everyone. Same God is there.😉
She should be allowed to enter in the temple, I don't know why some temples doing this?
what's your problem? Temples are not tourist destination. there are rules in some temple where only adherents are allowed to protect the sanctity & it's totally fine
First you should have full information why some temples do this beacuse you should know when india was a colonial state many foreign invaders have destroyed temples so to save the temples this law is made to save temples .
@@abi-wg4jt many Hindus tend to be people pleasers lol 😂
Temples are not tourist places bro.
Galati se tune Hindu dharm me janm lia.......Try to enter in Vatican church with her......then talk !
I'm sorry miss for your experience, actually some BBC shitty people came and done something bad about the temple and calling the vault and idols are fake and blah blah like that and even some foreign who spit in temple regions and even blame the devotees which became a serious thing and later extra military protection given and also need certificate to enter for a foreign.
Because of some hinduphobic who caused this issue , later good vloggers can't even explore it's Beauty for the previous corrupt people consequences.
You make believe the average keralite's height to be 4 feet 😂 safe travels.
