Pilgrims heading to Sabarimala were told to delay their travel due to intense rainfall across Kerala, according to authorities.
Authorities in Kerala have urged pilgrims to postpone their trip to Sabarimala after a series of heavy downpours battered the state.
The advisory, issued by the Kerala Tourism Department, comes as rainfall in the Western Ghats has caused flooding and road blockages, making travel to the pilgrimage site hazardous.
Officials warned that the steep terrain and narrow roads could become treacherous, and that many pilgrims have already faced delays and safety concerns.
Those who had already reached the base of the pilgrimage route were advised to wait for clearer weather before proceeding to the temple complex.
