Sabarimalai is a Hindu pilgrimage center located in the Western Ghats peak ranges of Pathanamthitta District in Kerala. It is the largest yearly pilgrimage in world with an estimated 45-50 million disciples visiting every year. Sabarimalai is believed to be the place where the Ayyappan meditated after slaughtering the powerful demons, Mahishi. Ayyappan's temple is positioned here amidst 18 hills. The temple is situated on a top of hill at an altitude of 468 m (1535 ft) above mean sea level, and is bounded by mountains and dense forests. Temples survive in each of the hills surrounding Sabarimalai

Sabarimala is predominantly for men of all ages. Women between the ages of 10 and 50 are not permitted to enter the temple, since the story accredited to Ayyappa prohibits the entry of the women in the menstrual age grouping. This is for the reason that Ayyappan is a Bramachari . The pilgrimage starts in the month of November and ends in January. The temple attracts pilgrims not only as of the southern states of India, but also from further parts of the country and abroad. The temple gets thronged with devotees especially throughout the main pilgrim season from November to January. There are the two main events of the pilgrim season: Mandala pooja (December 12, 2011) and Makaravilakku(Jan.15th, 2012). The temple keep on closed during the rest of the year except for the first five days of each Malayalam month and during Vishu (April).

Certain customs are to be severely observed if one has to take on a pilgrimage to Sabarimala. A pilgrim attending the Mandalapooja must observe austerities for 41 days. During this time, the pilgrim should refrain himself from non vegetarian food and carnal enjoyments. Pilgrims set out in groups below a leader, and each carry a cloth bunch called Irumudi kettu containing traditional contributions. Unlike certain Hindu temples, Sabarimala temple has no limitations of caste or creed. Pamba is the main tentative point on the way to Sabarimala. From here one has to trek 4 to 5 kms to arrive at the temple.
