Overview
Ayyappa Puja for families in Hulimavu
Ayyappa Puja is the worship of Lord Ayyappa, also called Dharma Sastha and Manikanta, the deity of the Sabarimala temple in Kerala. Every year, from around November to January, lakhs of devotees across South India keep a strict deeksha of prayer, simplicity and discipline before making the pilgrimage.
Hulimavu lies on Bannerghatta Road, south of Arekere and north of Gottigere, with Hulimavu Lake and the Royal Meenakshi Mall as familiar landmarks. The old village has a Shiva cave shrine that local families visit, especially on Shivaratri.
वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्यकोटि समप्रभ।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्वकार्येषु सर्वदा॥
Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
