Devotees Throng Sabarimala Temple To Offer Prayers - See Pics

Sabarimala, a prominent hill shrine, is located in Kerala's Pathanamthitta district.

The temple is opened only during Mandala Pooja in November and December.

Devotees in large numbers throng the temple on Thursday.

The pilgrims of Sabarimala have to reach to hilltop after trekking on a difficult terrain as the route is so narrow it is inaccessible by vehicles.

The temple doors will be shut for rest of the year after celebrating Makaravilakku on Makara Sankranthi (January 14).
