The Sabarimala Temple is a famous Hindu pilgrimage site located in the Western Ghats of Kerala, India. Dedicated to the deity Ayyappa, the temple attracts millions of devotees each year, especially during the annual pilgrimage season from November to January. The temple is situated on a hilltop and is surrounded by dense forests, making the journey to reach it both challenging and spiritually rewarding. Devotees often observe a strict 41-day fasting period before visiting the temple, which includes abstaining from certain foods and behaviors. The temple is unique in that it welcomes people of all faiths, although traditionally, women of menstruating age are not allowed to enter. This has led to significant discussions and legal battles regarding gender equality and religious practices in India.
