About Makaravilakku
14 January 2027
Makaravilakku marks the high point of the Sabarimala Mandala–Makaravilakku season, falling around Makara Sankranti. Devotees of Ayyappa gather for darshan as the celebrated Makara light is beheld in the hills. It is not the same as Mandala Pooja: Mandala closes the first 41-day austerity block in late December; Makaravilakku follows after a brief temple interval and crowns the mid-January climax. Madhuma’s festival essentials help you keep a calm Ayyappa corner if you observe from home.
