Description
In Hinduism, Ayyappan is a celibate deity often depicted in a yogic posture with a bell around his neck. His primary shrine is in Shabarimalai, Kerala, and he is popular in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka as well. Ayyappan may be historically related to the tutelary deity Aiyanar of Tamil Nadu. The annual pilgrimage to Shabarimalai is a significant aspect of Ayyappan's worship, with participants observing strict vows of celibacy and abstinence. Ayyappan is said to be the son of Shiva and Vishnu, adopted by a Pantalam king in Kerala. His later life involves becoming a renowned warrior and being worshipped by the Muslim chieftain Vavar.
