"As Article 26 contemplates not merely a religious denomination but also a section thereof, the Math or the spiritual fraternity represented by it can legitimately come within the purview of this article." Key ratio of Shirur Mutt explained in SP Mittal 
"A math, like an idol, is in Hindu Law a judicial person capable of acquiring, holding & vindicating legal rights, though of necessity it can only act in relation to those
rights thru the medium of some human agency"
objective of grant of Deity legal personality is same as Mutt
rights thru the medium of some human agency"

With worshipper followers of Hindu religion being religious denomination worshippers of a Hindu Deity are a religious denomination or section thereof given obj of legal personality of Deity is to protect the pious purpose of worshippers just like a Mutt Deity gets Art 26 rights.
Art 26 rights of Hindu Deities & Mathas flow from same origin of recognition of followers of Hindu Religion as Religious denomination in Shirur Mutt case as explained in SP Mittal. Negation of Art 26 rights of Hindu Deities will eventually lead to loss of Art 26 rights of Mutts
Several Hindu Mutts have unfortunately not understood that the direction of SC Sabarimala judgement denying Art 26 rights to Hindu Deities will eventually lead to loss of Art 26 rights to Mutts 👆and did not support Lord Ayyappa devotees in their protests.

It is unfortunate several Hindu Mutts barring few exceptions have not supported Chilkur Balaji Art 26 #DeityRightsMovement which took birth from Sabarimala movement. They are yet to realize Lord Chilkur Balaji Deity is also fighting for their Art 26 rights
