Description

At Sabarimala, the deity is worshiped as Ayyappan. The shrine of Sabarimala is an ancient temple. It is believed that the prince of the Pandalam dynasty, an avatar of Shasta, meditated at Sabarimala temple and became one with the divine. The place where the prince meditated is the Manimandapam. The pilgrimage to Sabarimala starts on the first day of Vrischika month of the Malayalam year (Month of Scorpio) and ends on the 11th day of Dhanu month (The Month of Sagittarius). This season of the 41-day pilgrimage is known as Mandala kalam (Season). The season is in the months of December and January.
