The sacred jewellery, Thiruvabharanam, was brought back to Pandalam Palace from Sabarimala in a customary procession on Friday.
The procession carrying the Thiruvabharanam set off from Sabarimala Sannidhanam after the closure of the Ayyappa temple on Tuesday morning. It had halted at Laha Sathram, Perinad Sastha temple and at Aranmula on the nights of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday respectively.
The presiding deity at the Sastha temple at Perinad was decorated with the sacred jewellery on Wednesday afternoon.
The procession was received by the Pandalam Palace managing committee, Ayyappa Seva Sanghom and devotees on its arrival on the Valiyakoickal Sastha temple premises adjoining the Pandalam Palace on Friday.
The sacred jewellery was kept at the strong room attached to Pandalam Palace later. The jewellery will be taken out for decorating the presiding deity at the Valiyakoickal Sastha temple during the temple festival on March 7 and on the Vishu day on April 14.
