Thiruvananthapuram: As part of the preparations to prevent overcrowding of devotees during the Makaravilaku festival at the Sabarimala temple, it has been decided to limit the spot booking facility at Sannidhanam to 5000 persons per day from tomorrow onwards (Jan 8) to January 15.
The decision has been taken on the basis of the Hon. Kerala High Court's direction for efficient crowd management during festival seasons at the Sabarimala temple. Bookings through the virtual queue have been fixed on the Devaswom board website as 60,000 on January 12, 50,000 on January 13 and 40,000 on January 14. The devotees are also advised against camping on the hillock. January 14th is the Makara Jyoti day.
