Brief description
A penetrable yoni or garbh yoni (womb, female sexual organ), which is used as a dwar of unspecified nature, seems to exist somewhere in Trevandrum (note 1). Reverend Samuel MATEER (1871: 170-171) is said to mention a ceremony of the -golden womb- (passing through the yoni) at Trevandrum while MATEER (1883: 209) is said to draw attention to temples and rites resorted to by barren women (note 2).
