Know the Latest Update regarding Sabarimala Temple Ayyppa Mala Irumudi Kattu Procedure, How to do Ayyppa Swamy Mala Mandala Pooja, and Irumudi Kattu Procedure Here.

The most significant element of the Sabarimala pilgrimage is the Irumudi kettu. The process of making irumudi kettu, also known as kettu nirakkal or Palli kettu, is done under the supervision of Guruswami. A 41-day vritham has been observed by the devotees who carry the irumudi kettu.

Irumudi Kattu is Tamil for “two bundles.” The Ghee Coconut (Nei Thengai) and all other pooja things required when we get to Sabari Mala are contained in the front bag, which is intended for Lord Iyappan. All the goods we’ll need for ourselves on the journey are included in the back pouch.

Sabarimala Temple Ayyppa Mala Irumudi Kattu Procedure

1. The pilgrims to Sabarimala use travel kits or travel pouches called iruumudi kattu. Irumudi kettu is a little bag that must be filled with Pooja items. It has two pockets, one in the front and one in the back. The front piece of the bag, known as the munmudi compartment, is for Lord Ayyappa, and the back portion, known as the pinmudi compartment, is for carrying the devotee’s personal things.
2. The back pouch can be opened on the trip, but the front pouch cannot be opened until we are in Sabarimala.
3. The ghee coconut is the most significant item brought in the irumudi kattu (Nei thengai). The ghee coconut represents the devotee who is holding the irumudi, who is himself. It is claimed that the ghee represents one’s soul and the coconut their body. You bring yourself to Iyappan to be presented, and you get back whatever it provides you.
4. The practice of carrying ghee in coconut is also done for another reason. It is said that when ghee is offered to Iyappan, it is sealed in coconuts to prevent spoilage. These are the two interpretations that I have found.
5. Irumudi, as previously said, is two packets. It can be created from a single piece of cloth that can be tied to form a carrying bag on each side. We use the easily accessible Irumudi bags more frequently.
6. Two pouches made of the same material are present, with their openings facing one another. If the coconut bags are not sold with the Irumudi bag, purchase them when you purchase the Irumudi bag.
7. These are tiny cotton purses that can be closed with the rope running along their rim.

What happens after the Pin Mudi is opened:

• You remove the rice and cash inside. You will present it to the appropriate Hindu. For Malangugapurathu Amman, use Agarbathi, Kumkum, and Aval. For doing the Poojas, use camphor.
• You bring some rice and raisins home with you, where you make an offer of Pongal as prasadam.
• Only those who are wearing an Irumidi on their heads are permitted to step on the Sabari mala’s 18 hallowed stairs.
• Only if your 41-day fast is complete do you need to transport Irumudi. You can use the second set of steps that run along the side to go to the shrine if you do not have an Irumudi with you. The shrine (temple) is still accessible without the Irumudi Kattu.
