Overview

Ayyappa Puja for families in Kothrud

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.

Kothrud is one of the biggest residential suburbs of Pune, spread along Karve Road and Paud Road on the western side of the city. It grew through the 1980s and 1990s into a dense area of cooperative housing societies, row houses and independent homes, and newer apartment towers now rise towards Chandani Chowk and the hills beyond.
