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 mantra to be recited while removing the Mudra mala is: Apoorvamachalaarooha Divya darshana karana Shastra Mudrathavaka Deva Dehimee Vratha mochanam
