Makaravilakku 2022: Makaravilakku is one of the most important festivals at Sabarimala Temple in Kerala. Thousands of devotees of Lord Ayyappa gather at temple to see Makarvilakku (light or flame) which appears thrice on the Ponnambalamedu hill, 4 km away from the temple.

As the name itself suggests, Makaravilakku revolves around the lighting lampsnin the month of Makar.

Makaravilakku 2022: Date

Makaravilakku, for the year 2022, will be observed on January 14, just on the day of Makar Sankranti.

In the evening, the sacred ornaments of Lord Ayyappa, who is believed to have lived at Pandalam palace (some 80 km away), would be brought to Sabarimala shrine from the palace in a procession. The erstwhile royal family of Pandalam is the custodian of the ornaments.

Makaravilakku 2022: Celebration

Makara vilakku is a light lit at Ponnambalamedu, a plateau across the Sabarimala shrine. The light, believed to have celestial origins, is shown three times by the chief priest of Pamba temple. Pamba is the base station of Sabarimala.

The light is dubbed as Makara vilakku. This ritual is done after the Sirius star appears in the sky. This ritual had been done by Malaya araya tribals in the past.

When the Travancore Devaswom Board took over the administration of the temple in the early 1950s, the tribal community lost that right.
