The Sabarimala Temple is a temple complex located at Sabarimala hill inside the Periyar Tiger Reserve in the Perinad Village. Pathanamthitta district, Kerala, India. It is one of the largest annual pilgrimage sites in the world with an estimate of over 40 to 50 million devotees visiting every year. The temple is dedicated to a Hindu Brahmachari (Celibate) deity Ayyappan also known as Dharma Shasta, who according to belief is the son of Shiva and Mohini, the feminine incarnation of Vishnu. The traditions of Sabarimala are a confluence of Shaivism, Vaishnavism, and other Śramaṇa traditions.
The temple is situated on a hilltop amidst eighteen hills at 4,134 ft above sea level, and is surrounded by mountains and dense forests. The dense forest, part of the Periyar Tiger Reserve (Thekkadi), around the temple is known as Poongavanam. Temples exist in each of the hills surrounding Sabarimala. While functional and intact temples exist at many places in the surrounding areas like Nilakkal, Kalaketty, and Karimalai, remnants of old temples survive to this day on remaining hills.
More Hindus offer prayer at a mosque of Vavar believed to be a Muslim devotee of ayappan.
The temple is open for worship only during the days of Mandalapooja (approximately 15 November to 26December), Makaravilakku or “Makara Sankranti” (14 January) and Maha Thirumal Sankranti (14 April), and the first five days of each Malayalam month.
