Sabarimala pilgrimage season starts this month. Every year during the months October to January, millions of people visit Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple, located in a mountain range in Kerala, South India. It is one of the few famous Hindu temples in India that is open to people of all faiths.
Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple
The shrine of Sabarimala is one of the most famous Hindu shrines in South India which draws four to five million pilgrims every year. Surrounded by mountains and dense forest of Western Ghats, Sabarimala is believed to be the place where Lord Ayyappa sat in meditation. It is also believed that ‘Sage Parasurama’ who retrieved Kerala, also called God’s own country, from the sea by throwing his axe, installed the idol of Ayyappa at Sabarimala to worship Lord Ayyappa.
