അരവണ സൂക്ഷിക്കുന്ന മുറിയിൽ ജലാംശം; മണ്ഡലകാലം പാളുമെന്ന് സർക്കാരിന് ആശങ്ക; ശബരിമലയിൽ പ്രത്യേക ടീം?

According to a report by Mathrubhumi News, authorities are expressing concern over the storage conditions for Aravana, a traditional offering at the Sabarimala temple in Kerala. Reports indicate that moisture levels within the storage facility have raised alarms regarding the quality and preservation of the offerings ahead of the upcoming Mandala-Makaravilakku pilgrimage season.

In response to these findings, there are ongoing discussions among government and temple administrative officials regarding the formation of a specialized team to oversee pilgrimage management and quality control. The potential for moisture-related spoilage has prompted a review of current storage protocols to ensure that the high volume of offerings required for the influx of devotees remains safe and compliant with health standards.

Sabarimala, one of India's most prominent pilgrimage sites, attracts millions of devotees annually. The management of temple offerings and the logistical preparation for the pilgrimage season are critical tasks for the Travancore Devaswom Board and state authorities. Officials are expected to finalize plans for the oversight team in the coming weeks to mitigate any risks to the smooth conduct of the festival.
