Devotees
visiting Sabarimala Temple should strictly adhere to the customs
and traditions followed at the temple. Only those coming with IRUMUDIKETTU
will be allowed to ascend the Holy PATHINETTAMPADI (Eighteen Holy
Steps) leading to the Sannidhanam. Women aged between 10 years and
50 years will not be allowed to trek the Holy Hills. At the time
of the Thiru Aarattu Festival, presence of women aged between 10
to 50 is not allowed at Pamba also.
In
order to avoid environmental pollution on the road leading to Pampa,
Sannidhanam and enroute, all items manufactured in plastic
and polythene are strictly banned. Betel chewing, using pan masala
and smoking are also strictly banned in the above mentioned places.
Though
the Board is trying its level best to provide all amenities to the
pilgrims, due to the severe rush the facilities may not be enough.
Hence pilgrims are advised not to overstay at the temple premises.
Since the boarding facilities at the Sannidhanam are not enough
to cater to the heavy rush of pilgrims, the devotees are requested
to leave Sannidhanam at the earliest, after Darshan and other rituals.
Parking
of vehicles except light vehicles has been arranged at Nilakal.
The heavy vehicles should drop the devoees at Pampa and go back
to Nilackal, to park the same at the parking area provided by Travancore
Devaswom Board. After the Darshan devotees may avail the facility
of chain services arranged by KSRTC to reach Nilackal and catch
their own vehicles parked at the parking area. These arrangements
are to avoid the heavy rush and traffic jam at Pamba. On days having
heavy rush, hevy vehicles will not be allowed beyond Nilakkal.
In
order to make this annual pilgrimage to Sabarimala a grand success,
Devaswom Board requests the co-operation of all devotees in this
regard.
