India Post to Deliver Sabarimala Swami Prasadam Across India; 24-Hour Special Booking Counter at Sannidhanam
India Post has entered into a bilateral agreement with the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) to provide a round-the-clock special ‘Swami Prasadam’ booking counter at Sabarimala Sannidhanam ahead of the 2026–27 Mandala-Makaravilakku pilgrimage season.
Under the initiative, devotees can book sacred prasadam, including Aravana Payasam, at Sannidhanam and have it delivered to their home addresses through India Post’s Speed Post Parcel service.
The special booking counter will function alongside the Travancore Devaswom Board’s existing Aravana and Appam distribution counters at Sannidhanam. Devotees will also be able to book and send Swami Prasadam to destinations across the country through any post office in India.
The initiative is expected to make prasadam more accessible to Ayyappa devotees who cannot carry it back during their return journey and help avoid the difficulties associated with purchasing and transporting prasadam amid the heavy pilgrimage rush.
The Sabarimala temple will open on November 16 for the annual Mandala-Makaravilakku pilgrimage season, which is expected to witness a large influx of devotees.
