VRUTHAM

How to observe vrutham for Sabarimala


The Vrutham for visiting Sabarimala Ayyappa Sannidhanam or Swamy Ayyappa temple starts on the first day of the Malayalam month Vrischikam or 1st day of Tamil month Karthigai and culminates on Mandala Pooja and again on Makara Sankranthi day.  On observing this Sabarimala Vrutham (austerities) the mind and soul get purified as the devotees undertake certain practices and cleanliness.  Here are some of the customs and rules of the austerities. For those who cannot start vrftha on the first day of Vrischika/Karthika month can start on any other day.  Actually any person going to Sabarihills for the first time should go so in Mandalam/Makaravilakku season only. But now persons are gong any time.  That may be because of the crowd there and as per their convenience.  But the rules are the same.
