Kerala govt not to allow devotees in Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple

Amid increasing Covid cases, Kerala government has decided  not to allow devotees in the Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple for now.

It was also decided to defer the 10-day annual festival and to conduct it as a mere ritual.

Earlier it was decided to open the temple through



online reservation. Authorities informed that Sabarimala being a large pilgrim centre where people from different parts of South India congregate in large numbers, the risk involved in throwing the holy hillock open for devotees at this situation is very high.
