Sabarimala Temple, situated in the Western Ghat mountain ranges of Kerala, is a revered Hindu pilgrimage destination dedicated to Lord Ayyappa. It is known for its unique traditions and rituals, including a rigorous 41-day penance observed by devotees before visiting the temple. The temple is open to all faiths, but traditionally attracts millions of male pilgrims who undertake the arduous pilgrimage during the annual Mandalam-Makaravilakku season. Sabarimala’s serene location amidst dense forests and the Pamba River adds to its spiritual allure, making it one of the most significant and culturally rich pilgrimage sites in South India.
