'Temple-connect' packages for Sabarimala pilgrims

The corporation has rolled out an extensive set of 72 ‘temple-connect’ packages for the mandala season, designed to allow devotees to offer prayers at major temples en route, weaving together a more holistic pilgrimage circuit.

The initiative is being carried out in association with the Travancore Devaswom Board. “We have introduced 72 chartered packages, involving 1,600 trips, for the first phase of the pilgrimage season. Additional trips will be conducted depending on the demand.

The temple-connect packages, especially those from northern parts of the state, will be of two-day trips, while those from comparatively nearby places like Alappuzha and Pathanamthitta will be one-day services,” a senior BTC official told TNIE.
