What is Ayyappa Puja?

Worship of Lord Ayyappa, the presiding deity of Sabarimala, traditionally performed during the Mandala season and by devotees observing deeksha.

The pooje usually includes Ayyappa ashtottara, sharanam ghosham, bhajans and the Padi Pooje where the family has a small set of eighteen steps. A Pandit or Guruswamy experienced in the Sabarimala customs can guide the rites.

Procedure, samagri & what's included

वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥

Why Families Choose Bangalore for Ayyappa Puja

Bangalore has a large Malayali community, and Ayyappa devotion here reaches well beyond it, with Kannada, Tamil and Telugu devotees keeping the vratham too. The Ayyappa temple in Jalahalli is among the best known in the city, and many layouts have their own Ayyappa bhajan groups.

Groups often travel from Bangalore to Sabarimala together by road or train, which makes the Irumudi Kettu a shared occasion held in a home, a temple hall or an apartment clubhouse the night before departure.
