Sabarimala Tightens Virtual Queue, Advises Elderly/Children Off Forest Path

• Sabarimala temple is tightening its virtual queue and spot booking system for pilgrims.
• Elderly, children, and those with health issues are advised to avoid the traditional forest trekking path.
• Pilgrims are urged to use the Nilakkal-Pampa route instead, due to congestion and challenges in providing emergency aid on the forest path.
• The measures aim to regulate pilgrim flow and ensure a safe, organized darshan experience during the annual pilgrimage season.

Why It Matters: New rules ensure safer Sabarimala pilgrimage, especially for vulnerable devotees.
