Mandapam of Pandalam King on The way From Pamba to Sannidanam – Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple

There are numerous holy spots on the trek to Sannidanam (Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple) from Pamba. One such spot is the Mandapam of Pandalam King. Pandalam king had the rare fortune of becoming the father figure of Lord Ayyappa on earth. It was this king who built the temple at Sabarimala.

At the mandapam (a small open resting spot), a representative from the family of Pandalam King blesses Ayyappa devotees who are on their way to the shrine from Pampa.

Neelimala comes after the Mandapam.

The Mandapam is the next important spot after Pampa Ganapathi Temple on the way to Sannidanam.
