Overview

Ayyappa Puja for families in Nadesar

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.

Nadesar lies next to the Cantonment side of Varanasi, not far from Varanasi Junction railway station. It is one of the city's more spacious areas, with tree-lined roads, older bungalows, government offices and several well-known heritage and business hotels.
