Unmanageable crowd of devotees has gathered at Sabariamalai over the last 3 days!
The devotees had to wait up to 8 hours yesterday to have a Darshan of Lord Ayyappan!
The most famous occasion of Manadala Pooja at Sabariamalai Ayyappan Temple is scheduled on 27th December.
With only 16 days left for this occasion, arrival of devotees has been on the rise.
Crowd of devotees has been uncontrollable especially from 7th December.
Hence, Darshan time had to be extended. The temple corridors are opened by 3.00 AM and closed by 2.00 PM. Again, it is opened by 3.00 PM and closed by 11.50 PM.
Devotees who turned up yesterday at 8.00 AM could have a Darshan of the Lord only after 4.00 PM.
Devotees were tired due to long waiting hours.
As a result of the extraordinary crowd of devotees, the entire vehicle parking space in Pambai was overflowing. This led to an acute traffic jam in the area.
