The temple corridors of the Lord Ayyappan Temple at Sabarimalai are scheduled to be opened this evening (today, Friday, 13th March) for the special poojas to be performed during the Tamil calendar month of ‘Panguni`.
The corridors will be open until 18th March.
At the same time, both the Kerala State Government and the Lord Sri Ayyappan Temple Dewaswom (temple administration board) have already appealed to the devotees not to visit because of the coronavirus and the resultant global panic.
The Kerala State Transport Corporation has already announced that NO special buses will be operated to Sabarimalai temple. Waiting/staying Rooms will not be offered to the devotees at Pampa and Sannidhanam. Further, the counters at Appam and Aravanai would not function.
