Travancore Devaswom Board, the apex temple body managing the Sabarimala shrine, decided on Tuesday, 2 January, to regulate spot bookings for darshan due to the anticipated heavy rush on the occasion. There will be no spot bookings for pilgrims from 10 January, and the Virtual-Q bookings are limited to 40,000 on 15 January, the day of Makaravilakku, officials said.
