The New Indian Express Thrissur

|

January 08, 2025

OVER 40 lakh pilgrims have visited Sabarimala since the beginning of the annual pilgrimage season, setting a new record for the hill shrine.

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @Pathanamthitta

As of Sunday, a total of 39,02,610 Ayyappa devotees have visited the temple, surpassing last year's record of 35,12,691 devotees during the same period.

With the Makaravilakku festival just a week away, authorities are preparing for the expected surge in visitors. The police are taking special precautions to manage the crowd on the day. They are advocating for the complete suspension of spot bookings to prevent overcrowding, and are considering conducting inspections at Nilakkal before permitting pilgrims to proceed to Pampa.
