I cannot understand this logic.

The females in the modren dress can hide their body fully but not in “sari” where their abdomen, back and arms are almost naked

The Christiams, Jews and Muslims have a completely dirrefernt modest dress code for their worship places. I cannot make sense out of removing the shirt and wearing a dhoti to enter a Mandir.

Moreover, a non-jew can definitly enter a Synagoge, a non-christian in Church and a non-muslim in Mosque. Why a non-Hindu cannot enter a Temple?

U dont have to understand buddy.. this is a constom and that is followed. People in different part of the country follow different customs. This temple is in Kerala. There is another big temple in Kerala and more famous called Shabarimala. Here all kinds of people are allowed to come and do not require to remove shirt or wear exclusively dhoti. It is also compulsory for the first timers to go to the mosque of vavar samy (a muslim) before proceeding to the temple which is in a dense forest and on top of the hill. This is one of the best example of the religious harmony in India. Muslims living in that area provides all kind of help for the devotees.
Then coming to your comment on saris. If you wear sari properly, the abdomen can be covered. That also goes for the back as well. Then only arms remain uncovered. But you should know that this is India.. its not a cold country.
