Sabarimala Prasadam Counter Directory

Ensure your pilgrimage is smooth by knowing exactly where to collect your Aravana Payasam and Appam. While the primary production happens at the Holy Sannidhanam, several distribution points are available across Kerala for your convenience.

Primary Collection Hubs (24/7 Availability)

These are the most reliable locations with the highest stock levels. They are equipped to handle Virtual Q and online coupon redemptions.

Sannidhanam (The Holy Shrine)

Main Counter at the Lower Thirumuttam. Malikappuram Counter near the Malikappuram Temple complex.

Pamba Base Camp

Located near the Maha Ganapathi Temple. Ideal for purchasing before you start your climb or after your descent.

Nilakkal Base Camp

Located near the parking grounds and pilgrim shelters. This is often the easiest place to stock up before boarding KSRTC return buses.

Counter locations

The main counters are remembered near the temple exit and around the Malikappuram-side movement zone, with queue arrangements changing by season. Use the contact directory below to verify the current pattern before you climb.

Use these figures as the pilgrim-facing reference for the 2025-26 season. On-ground counters and official circulars remain final when a revision is in force.

During the peak Makaravilakku days, especially January 10 to January 15, these landline numbers can become extremely busy. It is always best to check the official Virtual Q portal first for prasadam stock announcements and then call the relevant counter or helpdesk only if clarification is still needed.

For transit support during peak days, Chengannur Railway Station may have a TDB-authorized information desk and KSRTC special counter. Kottayam can also host temporary counters during Mandala-Makaravilakku, while Vandiperiyar and Erumeli remain useful seasonal verification points for route-based pilgrims.

Railway, Transit, and Traditional Route Notes

Chengannur Railway Station:

Often features a TDB-authorized information desk and a KSRTC special counter that can guide pilgrims on token and counter availability.

Kottayam Railway Station:

A major hub where temporary counters can appear during Mandala-Makaravilakku when rush is high.

Vandiperiyar / Mount Estate / Pullumedu:

Useful for pilgrims using the forest-side route during Makaravilakku, with seasonal counter support near the Sathram entry region.

Erumeli and the traditional path:

Multiple counters can operate around the Pettathullal gateway. Deep-forest stretches like Kariilamthodu or Azhutha usually rely on TDB information or medical points rather than permanent Aravana counters.

Appachimedu and Neelimala:

TDB information and medical points may not issue prasadam directly, but they can guide pilgrims to the nearest available stock point.
