Sabarimala (Kerala) [India], November 17 : The Kerala government and the Travancore Devaswom Board have made all necessary arrangements to facilitate the pilgrimage to Sabarimala which starts today.

Secretary, Devaswom Board MG Rajamanickaam said, "For this Sabarimala season, the government of Kerala, along with Travancore Devaswom Board have made all the arrangements for the facilitation of all the pilgrims who are coming from outside. The virtual queue website is there, through which all the pilgrims have to pre-book the slot. People who are coming from outside are either visiting through the airport, train route or bus route."

The Sabarimala pilgrimage is one of the most important Hindu pilgrimages in India. The temple is dedicated to Lord Ayyappa, and millions of pilgrims visit the temple every year.
This year's pilgrimage season is expected to be a special one, as it will be the first pilgrimage season since the Supreme Court of India lifted the ban on women of reproductive age from entering the temple.
The Kerala government and the Travancore Devaswom Board are committed to ensuring that all the pilgrims have a safe and comfortable pilgrimage.
