India Post has entered into a bilateral agreement with the Travancore Devaswom Board to set up a round-the-clock special ‘Swami Prasadam’ booking counter at Sabarimala temple in Keralam ahead of the upcoming Mandala-Makaravilakku pilgrimage season. The initiative aims to facilitate the delivery of sacred Swami Prasadam, including Aravana Payasam, to devotees at their doorsteps through Speed Post Parcel service. Pilgrims can book the prasadam at Sannidhanam and have it delivered to their home addresses.

The special booking counter will function alongside the Devaswom Aravana and Appam counters at Sabarimala Sannidhanam. In addition, devotees can book and send Swami Prasadam to destinations across the country through any post office in India. The initiative is expected to make prasadam delivery more convenient and ease the difficulties faced by devotees during the pilgrimage season, particularly amid the heavy rush. The Sabarimala temple will open on the 16th of this month for the annual Mandala-Makaravilakku pilgrimage season.
