The Sabarimala Pilgrimage is one of the largest annual pilgrimages in the world, primarily undertaken by devotees of Lord Ayyappa, a Hindu deity revered in South India. The pilgrimage season typically runs from November to January, attracting millions of devotees to the Sabarimala Temple in the Western Ghats of Kerala, India. Pilgrims undertake a rigorous journey, observing strict vows of austerity, celibacy, and fasting before visiting the temple. The pilgrimage culminates in the Makaravilakku festival, celebrated on Makar Sankranti, when a divine light is witnessed atop the nearby hill of Sabarimala.
