Under this new scheme, the kin of any pilgrim who passes away during the pilgrimage will get a sum of Rs 5 lakh and the authorities will also make arrangements for conveying the mortal remains to the pilgrim's hometown.
The Travancore Devasom Board, which manages all temples under their control in the southern districts of the state, will be paying the insurance premium for this unique insurance coverage scheme.
This time, the two-month-long season opens on November 16 and will go on until the last week of December when it closes for a brief while and then reopens for pilgrims till early in the third week of January.
