Ayyappan 19 - The Long Arduous Pilgrimage To Sabarimala Comments

Fascinating view on the complex rituals of a pilgrimage to a sacred destination.

It is interesting to note that the annual pilgrimage 'involves a strict code of conduct besides following the rituals on a long and arduous journey to the temple of Sabarimala'. All the holy places en route have been mentioned along with their relevance vis-a-vis the Lord. Thank you so much, Geeta ji. It reads like doing a pilgrimage.

A stream of his devotees began the climb to Sabarimala and royal family declared the visits of pilgrimage. A day's rest and worship at Pamba River motivated many to visit. This is an excellent and informative devotional poem shared here.10

The other day I read a poem on Lord Ayyappan riding leopard! This is another sublime work unfolding magnificent details of pilgrimage to the Ayyappan temple! A very commendable series....10
