With the dawn of Karthigai, begins a sacred journey of devotion and discipline. On this blessed first day, we wear the mala — not just around our necks, but around our hearts. Each bead reminds us of humility, purity, and the divine call of Swami Ayyappan. The journey to Sabarimala doesn’t begin on the hills… it begins within. #sabarimala #sabarimalai #ayyappan
