Introduction.

"SWAMIYE SARANAM AYYAPPA".

It is very difficult to give a short description about Neervilakom Ayyappa Temple and I'm not enough to describe about this temple. But I think this blog will be hepful to all ayyappa devotees and the intention is to give a picture about this temple to the devotees from Tamil Nadu & Karnataka who arrives at Chengannur at the time of sabarimala pilgrimage. As chengannur is the destination place for those sabarimala pilgrims those arriving by train, this is the first ayyappa temple on the way to Sabarimala from the destination place. It will be nice to start your journey from chengannur by taking a bath at the holy Pampa river, having your prayers at Mahadeva kshethram and then have a visit at this temple which is in one of the most beautiful villages in Kerala. As this temple and village is away from township the atmosphere there is very calm and quiet and feel the beauty of nature where the god has shown his artistic ability.
