Guest guest Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 SWAMIYE SARANAM AYYAPPA It is beleived that the pandala Maharaja started the construction of our Sabarimala Temple on the first day of malayalam month Vrischikam (equivalent to karthigai).. After completing the construction works ,Lord ayyappa idol was installed on the first day of malayalam month Makaram (equivalent to Thai) So as on that day the idol was installed ,every year lord ayyappa appears in the form of " JYOTI " ,which is called after the name of the month " MAKARAM " AS " MAKARA JYOTI " And pongal has nothing to do with " MAKARA JYOTI " ,another thing is " MAKARA JYOTI " doesnot appear always on pongal day ,because some times first day of " MAKARAM " doesnot matches with first day of " THAI " yours, S.KANNAN FINAL YEAR E.E.E COIMBATORE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
