“Sabarimala Temple: Plan Your Visit Strategically for a Tranquil Experience”
Kottayam, December 10
In response to the escalating influx of devotees, the Sabarimala Temple is grappling with a surge in footfall, posing new challenges for local farmers who are grappling with transportation issues due to a shortage of buses. The Devasthanam has adjusted its accessibility, allowing devotees entry on five specified days every month.
A noteworthy observation reveals that during the months of March and October, the number of devotees visiting the temple experiences a noticeable dip. This presents a more opportune and convenient time for pilgrims seeking a less crowded environment.
Considering this information, it is advisable for those planning a visit to the Sabarimala Temple to schedule their pilgrimage between March and October. During these months, the temple opens its doors for devotees on five designated days, aligning with the temple calendar. This strategic timing not only ensures a spiritually enriching experience but also offers a respite from the challenges posed by the intensified crowd during other periods of the year.
