Makarajyothi

The most glorious sight at Sabarimala is the ‘Makarajyothi’ . It is actually the shining of a star in the evening of the day on which the Sun passes from the Equator to the South - the most auspicious moment in a year.

On the Makaravilakku day, the ”MAKARAJYOTHI’ ‘ is seen at Ponnambalameedu situated towards east from Sabarimala. Thousands of devotees reach Sannidhanam to have the sacred darshan of Makarajyothi.
