India Post to open 24-hour Swami Prasadam booking counter at Sabarimala

Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 14 (UNI) India Post will set up a round-the-clock special ‘Swami Prasadam’ booking counter at Sabarimala Sannidhanam to facilitate doorstep delivery of Aravana Payasam and other prasadam to devotees across the country during the upcoming Mandala-Makaravilakku pilgrimage season.
The facility is being established under a bilateral agreement between India Post and the Travancore Devaswom Board, enabling pilgrims to book prasadam at the shrine and receive it at their home addresses through India Post's Speed Post Parcel service.
The special counter will function alongside the Devaswom's Aravana and Appam distribution counters at Sannidhanam. Devotees will also be able to book and send Swami Prasadam to destinations across the country through any post office.
The initiative is expected to provide considerable relief to pilgrims amid the heavy rush during the pilgrimage season, as they can order any number of prasadam packets without the need to carry them during their return journey.
The facility will also ensure convenient booking, secure packaging and reliable delivery of prasadam to devotees across India.
Travancore Devaswom Board President K. Jayakumar and Kerala Circle Chief Postmaster General Amitabh Singh announced that the special parcel booking centre would become operational from next week, coinciding with the opening of the Sabarimala shrine for this year's Mandala season.
