The hill shrine dedicated to Lord Ayyappa was bustling with pilgrims. The highlight of Makaravilakku is the temple's reception of the procession carrying the sacred jewels, the 'Thiruvabharnam.' This year, the sacred jewels, which are transported in three separate boxes, began their journey from Pandalam on January 12, in accordance with the tradition that the Thiruvabharnam departs for Sabarimala two days before Makaravilakku.
