What is history or secret behind 'MakaraJyothi' in SabariMala ?

Ratheesh P.R.'s picture

At a particular time in a year there will appear a bright light at the top of SabariMala which is called 'MakaraJyothi'. Is it a natural phenomenon ? Or a man created one ?

The most important event at Sabarimala is the Makara Jothi (usually on January 14th). Thiruvabaranam or the sacred jewels of the Lord (presented by Padalam King) arrives at Sabarimala in three boxes. On the arrival of the jewel boxes the whole mountain reverberates to the chanting of 'Saranam Ayyappa' by millions of devotees gathered there to watch the event.
