Sabarimala down to 5,000 Aravana tins amid pilgrim rush
The Sabarimala temple has cut the number of Aravana sweet tins available to 5,000 as crowds swell. Officials anticipate roughly 17,000 pilgrims will visit before the shrine shuts at 10 p.m. on Monday. The Travancore Devaswom Board has imposed a limit of one tin per worshipper to manage demand, prevent shortages, and ensure equitable distribution among the pilgrims.
