The Ayyappa Swami Mala, also known as the Ayyappa Mala, is a sacred mala (garland) worn by devotees of Lord Ayyappa, especially during the pilgrimage to Sabarimala, a famous temple located in Kerala, India. The mala is typically made of black beads and is worn as a symbol of devotion and discipline. It is considered a significant part of the 41-day vrata (vow) that devotees undertake before visiting the temple.
The devotees wear the mala to seek the blessings of Lord Ayyappa and follow a strict regimen of self-purification, including abstaining from meat, alcohol, and other worldly indulgences. The mala is worn with reverence and is usually taken off only after completing the pilgrimage and returning home.
The 41-day vow is often considered a test of physical and mental endurance, and wearing the mala signifies the commitment to Lord Ayyappa's path of spirituality and righteousness.
