Significance of Sabrimala's 18 steps
Before the main entrance of the Sanctum Sanctorum, one has to climb 18 sacred steps. These steps are now covered with 'Panchaloham' (A Special Composition of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin). These steps are also known as Pathinettaam padi. Pilgrims initiate their ascent up the Pathinettam Padi by placing their right foot on the first step. Before ascending or descending the steps, pilgrims break coconut as an offering to the steps. It is necessary to have Irumudi on head while climbing up or down the stairs. While descending the steps the devotees coming down backwards facing the sanctum sanctorum.
The act of crossing the 18 steps is so sacred that nobody can mount them without undertaking the rigorous 41 day fast and carrying the irumudi.
The significance of these sacred steps is explained as follows:
The first five steps symbolise the five human senses (Panch indriyas)- Visual (Eye), Auditory (Ears), Olfactory (Nose), Gustatory (Tongue), and Tactile (Skin)
It is said that human eye should see only good things and refrain from looking at other bad things. We need to hear the good things and should not give a thought to gossip. The tongue must be used in speaking good words only and should always chant the name of the Lord Ayyappa. We always need to breathe fresh air and take the fragrance of the flowers that is offered to the Lord. When it comes to the sense of touch, a person should always touch the japa mala and must chant the Lord's name.
The next eight steps symbolise the eight Ashtaragas- Kama (Love), Krodha (Anger), Lobha (Avarice), Moha (Lust), Madha (Pride), Maltsarya (Unhealthy Competition), Asooya (Jealous), Dhumb (Boastfulness)
The ashtaragas convey that a person should never have ego and should give up on jealousy. He should chant the name of the Lord. He should not be greedy for anything in life. He should help and guide the bad people to follow a right path in life.
The next three steps stand for three Gunas or Thrigunas (Nature-born qualities)- Satva (Discernment), Rajas (Enjoyment), Thamas (Inactivity)
The Trigunas tell that one should be active and give up laziness. There should be no ego and one has to surrender himself to the Lord Ayyappa.
The last two steps represent- Vidya (Knowledge), Avidya (Ignorance)
We need to attain knowledge by giving up on our ego (or avidya) and attain salvation.
These steep steps are also equated to 18 Puranas, 18 Mountains, 18 Ayudhams, 18 Siddhas, 18 Devatas, and 18 Gunas.
gend
According to the legend, the reason behind Ayyappa's birth was to demolish the evil queen, Mahishi who was torturing the world at that time. The king of Pandalam saw this boy in a forest and took him to his palace. Pandalam's King adopted the boy as his son and he found that the boy was having super natural powers, divine knowledge, courage and wisdom. Named Manikantan (another name of Ayyappa) he grew into a boy well versed in academic lore and martial arts. As Manikantan was growing up in the palace the queen of Pandalam gave birth to a son. Nonetheless, the king regarded Manikantan as his elder son and decided to crown him as Yuvaraja at the age of 12. The queen was flustered by this decision and she wanted to get rid of Manikantan by hook or by crook.

Sabarimala history |Who is Lord Ayyappa?|ശബരിമല ധർമ്മശാസ്താവും അയ്യപ്പസ്വാമിയും |ഐതിഹ്യവും ചരിത്രവും
The worship of Shasta forms part of the very ancient history of south India. At Sabarimala, the deity is worshiped as Ayyappan and as Dharmashasta. The shrine of Sabarimala is an ancient temple. It is believed that the prince of Pandalam dynasty, an avatar of Ayyappan, meditated at Sabarimala temple and became one with the divine. The place where the prince meditated is the Manimandapam.
There are many Sastha temples in South India and across the globe.As per the temple history, the Sastha temple at Sabarimala is one of the five Sastha temples founded by Lord Parasurama. The other Sastha temples in this group of five includes the Ayyappan Temples at Kulathupuzha, where the Sastha appears as a Balaka or child; at Aryankavu where the Lord appears as a Brahmachari or young man; at Achankovil Shastha Temple, where the lord leads the Grihastha Ashrama life here and depicted along with his two wives – Purna and Pushkala[citation needed] at Sabarimala, where the lord is depicted in the Vanaprastha or form of renunciation; at Ponnambala Medu the Lord appears as a yogi and where the makaravilaku' is lit.
ശാസ്താവ് അഥവാ അയ്യപ്പൻ ഹിന്ദു ദേവനാക്കപ്പെട്ട ബുദ്ധനാണെന്നും, അതിനു മുന്ന് അത് ഒരു ദ്രാവിഡ ദേവനായിരുന്നു എന്നും വിശ്വസിക്കുന്നു. ശബരിമല ക്ഷേത്രവും കേരളത്തിലെ പല ശാസ്താ-ദുർഗ്ഗക്ഷേത്രങ്ങളും, അഥവാ കാവുകളും ഹൈന്ദവപരിണാമം പ്രാപിച്ച ആദി ദ്രാവിഡ-ബൗദ്ധ ക്ഷേത്രങ്ങളാണെന്ന് ചരിത്രകാരന്മാർ അഭിപ്രായപ്പെടുന്നു. നിർമ്മാണത്തിന്റെ പ്രാക്തനകാലം മുതൽക്കേ നാട്ടുകാരായ സാധാരണ ജനങ്ങൾ സംഘങ്ങളായിച്ചേർന്ന് വ്രതാനുഷ്ഠാനത്തോടെ പച്ചരിയും തേങ്ങയും നെയ്യും ഉപ്പും കുരുമുളകും ചേർന്ന നിവേദ്യങ്ങളുമായി ക്ഷേത്രവിഹാരങ്ങളിൽ താമസിച്ചിരുന്ന ബുദ്ധഭിക്ഷുക്കൾ തീർത്ഥാടനം ചെയ്ത് നിവേദ്യങ്ങൾ നൽകി അവരുടെ ഉപദേശങ്ങൾ ശ്രവിച്ച് തിരിച്ചുവരുമായിരുന്നു. ബുദ്ധമതാനുയായികളുടെ ശരണം വിളിയും അയ്യപ്പ ശരണം വിളിയും തമ്മിലുള്ള സാമ്യം ഈ വാദത്തെ ന്യായീകരിക്കുന്നു. അയ്യപ്പൻ വിഷ്ണുവിന്റേയും ശിവന്റേയും പുത്രനായാണു കരുതപ്പെടുന്നത്. ഇതു ശൈവ-വൈഷ്ണവ ഐക്യത്തെ സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു എന്ന വാദവും നിലവിലുണ്ട്. രാമായണത്തിൽ ശബരിപീഠം എന്നും കൂടാതെ ശബരി ആശ്രമം എന്നും പറയുന്നു.
After the installation of the temple, it was mostly unreachable for about three centuries. In the 12th century, a prince of Pandalam Dynasty, called Manikandan, rediscovered the original path to reach Sabarimala.
Sabarimala Sree Dharmasastha Temple is a temple complex located at Sabarimala inside Periyar Tiger Reserve in Pathanamthitta District, Kerala, India. It is the largest annual pilgrimage in the world with an estimate of between 17 million and 50 million devotees visiting every year.The temple is dedicated to the Hindu celibate deity Ayyappan also known as Dharma Sastha, who according to belief is the son of Shiva and feminine incarnation of Vishnu.The traditions of Sabarimala are a confluence of Shaivism, Shaktism, Vaishnavism, and other Śramaṇa traditions.
The temple is situated on a hilltop amidst eighteen hills at an altitude of 480 m (1,574 ft) above sea level, and is surrounded by mountains and dense forests. The dense forest, part of the Periyar Tiger Reserve, around the temple is known as Poongavanam. Temples exist in each of the hills surrounding Sabarimala. While functional and intact temples exist at many places in the surrounding areas like Nilakkal, Kalaketty, and Karimala, remnants of old temples survive to this day on remaining hills.
In response to a PIL filed in 1991, the Kerala High Court had judged that the restriction of entry of women ages 10-50 to the temple was in accordance with the usage prevalent from time immemorial, and it directed the Devaswom Board to uphold the customary traditions of the temple. However, on 28 September 2018, the Supreme Court of India overturned the ban on the entry of women, declaring it unconstitutional and discriminatory. On 2 January 2019, two women under the age of 50 finally entered the shrine for the first time since the Supreme Court verdict, after attempts by many others failed due to protests by devotees.
അവലോകിതേശ്വരൻ എന്ന ബുദ്ധന്റെ മറ്റൊരു പേരാണു പർണ്ണശബരി എന്നു ബുദ്ധഗ്രന്ഥങ്ങളിൽ പറയുന്നുണ്ട്. അതിനർത്ഥം മലകളിലെ കാടുകളിൽ താമസിക്കുന്നവൻ എന്നർത്ഥം. ഏറ്റവും കാരുണ്യവാനായ ബുദ്ധനായാണ് അവലോകിതേശ്വരനെ ചിത്രീകരിക്കുന്നത്. സഹ്യമലകളിലെ പൊതിഗൈ മലകളിൽ ആയിരുന്നു അദ്ദേഹത്തിന്റെ വാസ സ്ഥലം എന്നു ടിബറ്റൻ ബുദ്ധമത ഗ്രന്ഥങ്ങളിൽ പറയുന്നുണ്ട്. അദ്ദേഹമാണ് അഗസ്ത്യമുനിയെ തമിഴ് പഠിപ്പിച്ചതെന്നും രേഖകൾ ഉണ്ട്. ചൈനീസ് സഞ്ചാരിയായ ഫാഹിയാൻ നാലാം നൂറ്റാണ്ടിൽ ദക്ഷിണേന്ത്യ സഞ്ചരിച്ചപ്പോൾ അവലോകിതേശ്വരനെ സമൂഹത്തിന്റെ എല്ലാ തുറകളിലുള്ളവരും ആരാധിച്ചിരുന്നതായും ദൈവമായി കണ്ടിരുന്നതായി രേഖപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു.

Huge crowds throng the Petta Sree Dharmasastha Temple
Pilgrims by the thousands undertake the pilgrimage to Srivinayak at Sabarimala in south India. Notice that there are NO women here - this is an all male preserve - the Sabarimala pilgrimage!
Located in Pullumedu in Kerala's Idukki district, Sabarimala hosts the ritual of 'Makara Jyothi' at Sree Ayyappa Temple in Pathanamthitta district.
This is the same location where a tragic stampede took place on the 14th of January 2011, and perhaps over a hundred people were killed. Going by the crowds and the narrow access lane, this was almost a foregone conclusion.
Vavar (pronounced Vaa-var), also known as Vavaraswami was a Muslim saint who became a devotee of Lord Ayyappan. There is a shrine dedicated to Vavaraswami at Sabarimala, as well as Varaswamis mosque at Erumeli next to an Ayyappa temple. The devotion of Vavaraswami to Ayyappan and the key role that the Islamic Masjid has in the Ayyappa Pilgrimage, highlights the communal harmony in Kerala. The devotion of Vavaraswami also highlights the relevance of Ayyappa devotion for members of all faiths, and the equality shown to all, whether they are Muslims, Hindus or Christians.
Sabarimala (0929 North 7706 East) is situated in the midst of 18 hills, in a bowl of land blessed with a small rivulet named `Urakuzhi Theertham'. The area is in the hilly regions east of Kerala bordering Tamilnadu. Elevation above mean sea level is approximately 1260 Metres/4135 Ft. Temples existed in each of the hills surrounding Sabarimala. While functional (and intact temples) exist at many places in surrounding areas like Nilackal, Kalaketi, Inchiparakotta and Karimala, remnants of old temples are visible in the remaining hills.
From the international airport of Thiruvanathapuram (erstwhile Trivandrum), Sabarimala is located at 010 degrees/115 Kms. Similarly, from the international airport at Kochi (erstwhile Cochin) it is located at 118 degrees/106 Kms. These distances are `direct air distances or distances `as the crow flies'.
The pilgrimage to Sabarimala is a singular example of a pilgrimage where pilgrims, without consideration of caste, creed, position or social status, go with one mind and one `mantra' dreaming constantly of the darshan of the presiding deity a the Holy Sannidhanam
Kerala is a land of temples; perhaps the best known pilgrimage destination in Kerala is Sabarimala, high up in the Sahyadri Mountains(western ghats). Sabarimala Sri Dharmasastha Temple is the most famous and prominent among all the Sastha Temples. It is believed that Parasurama Maharshi who retrieved Kerala from the sea by throwing his axe, installed the idol of Ayyappa at Sabarimala to worship Lord Ayyappa.
The pilgrimage begins in the month of November and ends in January. The temple attracts pilgrims not only from the southern states of India, but also from other parts of the country and abroad.
The shrine gets thronged with devotees especially during the main pilgrim season from November to January.
Mandalapooja(Nov.15th)and Makaravilakku(Jan.14th)are the two main events of the pilgrim season. The temple stays closed during the rest of the year except for the first five days of every Malayalam month and during Vishu (April).
Certain customs are to be strictly observed if one has to undertake a pilgrimage to Sabarimala. A pilgrim attending the Mandalapooja should observe austerities for 41 days. During this period, the pilgrim should abstain himself from non- vegetarian habits and cardinal pleasures.
Pilgrims set out in groups under a leader, and each carry a cloth bundle called Irumudi kettu containing traditional offerings. Unlike certain Hindu temples, Sabarimala temple has no restrictions of caste or creed. The temple is open to males of all age groups and to women who have either passed their fertility age and those before reaching the stage of puberty.
