Covid guidelines for Sabarimala pilgrimage | sabarimala online ticket

It is difficult to organize a pilgrimage in the midst of a pandemic. However, the Travancore Devaswom Board is trying their best to prevent the disease spreading at crowds. The following restrictions are in place:



  • Only 1000 pilgrims are permitted to visit the shrine on any day except weekends.
  • On Saturdays and Sundays the limit is 2000 devotees
  • The pilgrimage will be permitted for 86,000 people during the makaravilakku and mandala Kaalam seasons.
  • As many as 351 markings were placed around and near the temple to ensure that pilgrims are physically separated.
  • Not just pilgrims, even shop employees in the area would require a COVID-19 negative certificate.
  • A special shower facility with 60 showers and 3 units has been set up for bathing at Pampa Triveni, since bathing in the Pamba River has been banned.
  • Sannidhanam Pampa and Nilackal are offering free meals. Before serving food, the plates have been wiped clean and seats are lined.
  • Sannidhanam is open from 5.30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Pampa, from 7 p.m. until 10 p.m.
  • At various locations around Sabarimala Temple, banners and boards are posted to inform the natives and visitors of COVID-19 guidelines. These banners and boards were erected and maintained by Pathanamthitta District Medical Office. They cite all details in six languages.
  • Pampa, Nilackal and Sannidhanam are also making announcements asking devotees follow the guidelines. They will also be posting COVID-19 protocols to social media to raise awareness to those who will visit the temple over the next few weeks.

Additional consideration

Initial plans were to allow only 86,000 pilgrims to Sabarimala during the pilgrimage season. This is a drastic change from previous years when around 40-50 millions people visited Sabarimala. It is intended to limit crowds in the face of a pandemic, but allow people to practice their faiths.

All spots had been booked for the following months by Monday. Now, the Kerala government is set to reconsider the decision of allowing only 1000 visitors a day as the Kerala High Court believes that the number is meagre, considering the terrain of Sabarimala. For pilgrims, there is the possibility of COVID-19-testing camps being established.

It is possible that Sabarimala Darshaan may soon open new bookings, considering that 40% of online bookings were not confirmed.

The authorities have increased the daily limit for pilgrims from 1000 to 2000 on weekdays, and they have done so repeatedly. Weekends have a maximum limit of 3000 pilgrims. Although the season saw a record 50,000 footfall, only 12% of visitors were Keralites. The majority of pilgrims arrived from Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.

Covid testing centres are being established, including the one in Nilakkal for pilgrim transit camps. With the increase in Sabarimala Darshan visitors, there are plans to establish more centers in Erumeli and Pandalam as well as Chengannur and Kottayam. To accommodate the latest decision to allow more tourists, Sabarimala's virtual queue was reopened for 12 hours. It was then closed at 5 a.m. on December 3.

Updated as of December 20, 2020:



In yet another revision of its previous order, the Kerala High Court has agreed on stepping up the number of daily allowed pilgrims from 2000 to 5000 from December 20 onwards. The Kerala police is handling the Sabarimala website bookings.

Sabarimala Darshan 2020 will be more costly than the previous season. All visitors must present a RTPCR, RT–Lamp or Express Nat Test result to Nilakkal starting December 26. This is in contrast to the current acceptance of Rapid Antigen results. You should be more cautious during darshan as several employees and police officers have tested positive to COVID-19 in the month that has passed since the temple reopened.
