AyyappanIn Hinduism in the south of India, Ayyappan (alternate names Ayyappa, Ayyappaswami) is a god of fertility and growth. He is most venerated in Sabarimalai, in Kerala. Pilgrimage to Sabarimalai begins from the 1st of Vrichikam, a Malayalam month coming in the middle of November (probably between 14-16). The most important day for Ayyappan is Makarasamkranthi Day, which is the 1st of Makara (a month of the Malayalam calendar). This day will fall between January 14-16. Currently millions of devotees come from all parts of India to Sabarimala for a glimpse of Lord Ayyappa.
