Travancore Devaswom Board to Resume Aravana Production Ahead of Sabarimala Pilgrimage
The Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) plans to resume Aravana production at Sabarimala on October 14 after renovation work, aiming to meet the average daily demand of 70,000 tins during monthly pujas. Despite previous shortages linked to higher-than-expected devotees and plant repairs, TDB officials and Devaswoms Minister K. Muraleedharan have assured adequate supply for the upcoming pilgrimage season. A government meeting on October 17 will further clarify arrangements to ensure a smooth pilgrimage experience.
