State Police Chief T.P. Sen Kumar on Monday opened an online booking system that would enable pilgrims to reserve their darshan timings at the Sabarimala temple.
The public could log on to sabarimala.com and submit their name, age, address, photograph, scanned copy of their photo-identity card to book their place in the virtual queue.
They could also chose the date and time of their visit. They should take a printout of the coupon issued by the system and bring it along to the shrine with their photo identity card.
Minors who book their places in the queue through their guardians did not require furnishing any identity proof at the shrine. Since 2010, at least 55 lakh people had used the virtual queue system to make hassle free visits to the temple.
