c11.s2.15

The modern Hindu public opinion is deadly opposed to the association of dancing girls with temple service. The dedication of girls to temples has been legally prohibited in Madras Presidency, and there is no doubt that other provinces will follow suit in the near future. The relative inactivity of their legislatures is really due to the custom being practically unknown in their jurisdiction.
