Sabarimala Sri Dharmasastha Temple is one of the most famous pilgrim centres in India that is open to all faiths. It is believed that Lord Ayyappan meditated in this place which is surrounded by mountains and dense forest. Every year millions of pilgrims from different part of the country visit here.
The pilgrimage begins in the month of November and ends in January. Mandala Pooja and Makaravilakku are the two main events of the pilgrim season. The temple is open for worship only during the days of Mandalapooja, Makaravilakku, first five days of every Malayalam month and during Vishu. It stays closed during the rest of the year.
Dayasagar Cab Service offers a special pilgrim package to guide the Sabarimala pilgrims to the Sannidhanam of Lord Ayyappa. This 2 days Sabarimala pilgrimage package is a perfect one for those who are looking for a holy visit to Sabarimala.
Petta Thullal, the ritualistic sacred dance to celebrate the victory of good over evil in the legend of Lord Ayyappa who killed the demon princess Mahishi, which denotes the beginning of the last leg of the annual Sabarimala pilgrimage season.
Traditionally, Petta Thullal is performed first by the Ambalappuzha team.
The team comprising more than 1,000 devotees starts the ritualistic dance after sighting the kite in the skies around noon from the Kochambalam at Petta junction. The team will dance its way into the Nainar mosque across the road to pay obeisance to Lord Ayyappa’s trusted lieutenant, Vavar.
They will be formally received by the Erumeli Mahallu Jamaat committee leaders who later would accompany them to the Sree Dharma Sastha Temple (Valiambalam) nearly a kilometre away where the Ambalappuzha team and the Jamaat leaders would be received by the Travancore Devaswom Board officials.
