Explanation
The Kalaram Temple entry satyagraha (1930–35), led by B.R. Ambedkar and the Dalit movement demanding temple entry, took place at the Kalaram Temple in Nashik, Maharashtra. The satyagraha ran from 1930 to 1935 and was a landmark assertion of Dalit civil rights. Nashik is in Maharashtra, ruling out the Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat options.
