As the season of pilgrimage draws near in Sabarimala, the most famous of Sasta Temples, Amrita TV introduces special segments in its news bulletins to cover the significant happenings of the two month long period.
Elaborate arrangements to keep track of the action at the summit have been taken because , unlike other temples that are accessible all the year through, Sabarimala opens its shrine only at specific times of the year.
Each Sabarimala special will be a 2-3 minute visually rich, information packed capsule that punctuates the newscasts at 8am, 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 6pm and 10 pm.
The exclusive segments, transmitted during the entire 60 day duration of the pilgrimage, beginning from November 15th will capture the two highlights of the period, Mandalapooja on November 16th and Makaravilakku on January 14th ; summarise the important programmes, events and special rituals held at the temple on a daily basis; notify Devaswom Board announcements, carry reports on VIP visits and their press conferences.
Since Sabarimala is the largest pilgrimage centre in the world, with an estimated 50 million devotees trekking up the 18 steps to salvation every year, emphasis will be given to the amenities available to them, the problems that they face, centers for redressal of grievances etc.
The special segments will keep both the devotees readying themselves for the spiritual journey through 40 days of abstinence and the many millions at home, abreast of the latest developments at the sanctum sanctorum of Sabarimala.
