The Kerala High Court Today (Oct 8) ordered the State’s Travancore Devaswom Board to take action against private entities found illegally charging Lord Ayappa devotees visiting Sabarimala temple for the ‘pottukuthal’ (applying Vibhuthi, Sindoor, or Chandanam) ritual. Bench made it clear that the Court would not tolerate any such instance of Sabarimala pilgrims being exploited.
