Sabarimala: As part of the Makaravilak Utsav, today, after the dinner pooja at Sannidhanam, there will be a procession from Malikappuram Manimandapam to Saramkuthi and dog calling.
Deva Chaitanyam will be invoked in the Titamba which is brought in Thiruvabharan Pedakam after Kalamezhmu in Mani Mandapam. Then Ezhunnallat is accompanied by rhythmic music and firecrackers. After calling the dogs, the fire is extinguished and the rhythms are avoided on the return journey. The ghee anointing will conclude at 9 am today. Devotees can visit till 10 pm tomorrow. After closing the procession, a grand Guruti will be held at the Malikappuram temple. Pilgrims will not be allowed into Sannidha on 21st. It will open at 5 am that day. At 5.30, Thiruvabharanam will be restored. Pandalam Raja representative Thrikettanal Rajaraja Varma will visit Sopanam. Then Ayyappan will be put in a yoga sleep after putting him in yoga sleep with a yoga stick and rudraksha mala. Melashanti comes down on the 18th step and gives the key to the temple and money to the royal representative. They will be returned to the Supreme Lord with instructions to perform the Pujadi Karmas for the next year. After completing the ceremonies, the royal representative will return to the panthalam with Thiruvabharana. This will conclude the Mandala-Makaravilak festival. Due to the impurity following the death of a courtier, the royal representative did not accompany the Thiruvabharan procession from the panthalam. Sabarimala is reached only after the impurity is removed.
