As popular legend has it, the Sabarimala temple located on the Sabari hills in Kerala was established by Lord Parasurama himself, who is believed to have dedicated this hill shrine to the worship of Lord Ayyappa.
Also known as Sree Ayyappa Temple, the Sabarimala temple in Kerala is a significant Hindu pilgrimage. Most pilgrimage tours to the Sabarimala temple are undertaken during the winter months of November to January.
Devotees who undertake this pilgrimage have lead a celibate life 41 days prior to the day the actually pilgrimage journey up the Sabari hill begins. Pilgrims fast and pray to Lord Ayyappa during these 41 days.
Devotees pass the legendary Sabarimala village on their way to the Sabarimala temple. Hindus believe that Shabari, a devotee of Lord Rama met the Lord in this village and fed him with half eaten jungle berries that were accepted by the lord in good faith.
