Mantra to end Sabarimala Vratham and remove the Ayyappa Mudra Mala

After the darshan of the Lord Ayyappa at the Sabarimala Hill Temple, the next important ceremony is the removal of the Ayyappa Mudra Mala (the special rudraksha or Tulsi chain and Ayyappa pendant worn by devotees). The Mudra Mala should only be removed after reaching home. Sabarimala Vratham can be continued for 41 days even after an early visit.

Swami Sharanam should be chanted before entering the home.

The Irumudi should be placed in the Puja room or the Pandal in which the Kettu Murukku (or the tying of the Irumudi was done).

The mantra to be recited while removing the Mudra mala is:

Apoorvamachalaarooha

Divya darshana karana

Shastra Mudrathavaka Deva

Dehimee Vratha mochanam
