Sabarimala

Sabarimala is a famous Hindu pilgrimage center in Kerala, India, dedicated to Lord Ayyappa. Every year, millions of devotees, especially women aged 10-50, undertake a rigorous 41-day fasting and penance before visiting the temple. The pilgrimage involves observing strict celibacy, following a particular diet, and maintaining purity. The temple, perched on a hilltop amidst forests, symbolizes spiritual discipline and devotion. Sabarimala's significance lies in its acceptance of diverse followers and its message of universal brotherhood, making it one of the world's largest annual gatherings rooted in faith and tradition.
