MORE Ayyappa devotees are opting to fly in this Sabarimala season, in a visible change in trend, with a good number of devotees travelling from Malaysia to Kochi.
While the Sabarimala Pilgrim Facilitation Centre at Kochi airport recorded a footfall of around 6,000 pilgrims during the entire last season, as many as 4,238 pilgrims have availed of the facilities this time around in the first leg of the two-month-long pilgrimage season, which concluded on December 26. This is even as the authorities expect to witness even more pilgrim footfalls in the second leg, which got off on Monday.
