Makaravilakku
Makaravilakku is the most significant annual festival of the renowned Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple. It spans seven days, commencing on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti. According to popular legend, Ayyappa merged with the Dharma Shastha Murti at the Sabarimala Temple on the day of Makarajyothi after defeating the demon Mahishasura.
The main attraction of the festival is the grand Thiruvabharanam procession, showcasing the sacred ornaments of the Hindu deity Shri Ayyappa, the God of Growth. During the procession, an eagle is seen hovering in the sky.
