How we source our guides
Is this the official booking website?

No. Swamy Saranam is an independent guide. Make darshan bookings only through the official Sabarimala portal. We never collect identity documents or booking payments.

Where can I check temple opening dates?

Use the current Travancore Devaswom Board announcement and the official booking portal. Our opening dates guide explains what to confirm. We do not present unverified dates as a confirmed calendar.

How should I prepare for a first pilgrimage?

Begin with your Guruswamy for traditional observances, then organise your booking, travel and essentials. Our preparation checklist helps you keep track without an account.

Are guides available in my language?

English is the primary language. A Telugu draft guide is available. Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada and Hindi are planned, with translation and review still to come.
