Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. 1927.

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar started the temple entry movement in 1927. The most notable event took place at Kalaram Temple in Nashik, Maharashtra, where Ambedkar led a campaign against the caste-based discrimination that restricted Dalits from entering temples. This movement was a significant step towards social equality and justice, advocating for the rights of Dalits to access public places of worship.
