Aimed at enhancing the amenities for devotees visiting Sabarimala, the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) has kick-started works on two pilgrim amenity complexes at Erumely and Nilackal respectively – two major stopovers en route to the hill shrine.
Devaswom officials said the centre that comes up near the Sree Mahadeva temple at Nilackal will be established at a cost of ₹54.35 crore. With a built-up area of 8,855 sq ft, the seven-building complex will encompass dormitory units, guest house and sewage treatment plants, among other amenities.
The facility at Erumely will be established at a cost of ₹15 crore and will include separate blocks for male and female devotees, besides an auditorium and parking space.
