Pilgrims at Srivinayak at Sabarimala, in Kerala

From the archive record

Pilgrims by the thousand undertake the pilgrimage to Srivinayak at Sabarimala in south India. Located in Pullumedu in Kerala's Idukki district, Sabarimala hosts the ritual of 'Makara Jyothi' at Sree Ayyappa Temple in Pathanamthitta district. This is the same location where a tragic stampede took place on the 14th of January 2011, and perhaps over a hundred people were killed. Going by the crowds and the narrow access lane, this was almost a foregone conclusion.
