The Sabarimala temple is set to reopen at 4 PM the day after tomorrow. Devotees will be permitted to enter the temple from the morning of the 17th, after the completion of the scheduled prayers and abhishekam. Pilgrims planning to visit the shrine should take note of the entry timings and the arrangements being made for the upcoming pilgrimage.

As part of the facilities for devotees, stainless steel seating arrangements are being installed at several locations along the trekking route to help pilgrims rest during the journey. In another measure aimed at pilgrim safety, a life insurance cover of ₹2 lakh will be provided in the event of an accidental death during the pilgrimage.
