After spending tough times walking on the stony terrains of Sabarimala and standing in long queues, I was happy that I got Ayyappa darshanam the day before yesterday.
We (Myself, My Roomie Hridish and my Father) started our Sabarimala journey after wearing maala at the temple near my house on Saturday morning, packing our Irumudikkettu with the help of GuruSwami at the temple, and starting off in Vivekananda travels from Thali ShivaKshetram in Calicut. Our journey of pilgrim goes as follows: Guruvayoor, Thripprayaar, Kodungallur, Thrikkakara, Chottanikkara, Vaikkam, Kadathurathi, Ettumanoor, Erumeli and finally Pampa to Sannidhanam. We started our walk uphill from Pampa about 5.15 pm on sunday evening and after a hard walk with rushy queues starting halfway along the uphill till the golden 18 steps, we got darshan of Lord Ayyappa around 3:30 am Monday morning.
Though my roomie was frustated standing for long hours, he being a kanniSwami not expecting the rush to be of this extent, was quite satisfied after the divyadarshanam. We returned back to pampa downhill, then boarded our bus back to calicut and reached home by 1:30 am. We then had a quick sleep and got ready to come back to Mysore by 5am bus.
