About the temple

Achankovil Sastha Temple is one of Kerala's five principal temples dedicated to Sastha (Ayyappa), nestled by the Achankovil River in a forest setting. The deity here is worshipped in married form with consorts Purna and Pushkala, unlike the celibate form at Sabarimala. The shrine draws devotees through the day for darshan and aarti, with the atmosphere reaching its peak during the evening rituals and on festival days when special pujas are performed.
