Child artist and heroine of movie Malikappuram, Devananda, visits Sabarimala temple on her tenth birthday; says she can have darshan of Lord Ayyappa next only after 40 years and is happy to wait

Pathanamthitta: Devananda, who captivated Malayalee audience with her outstanding performance as an innocent child devotee, Kallu, in the movie Malikappuram, visited Sabarimala temple on her tenth birthday.

Devananda posted pictures on her social media page and said that she has to wait for another forty years to visist Lord Ayyappa at Sabarimala again. She also posted a video of her at Sabarimala on social media.

As the child artist turns ten years old, she will have to wait for another forty years to have a darshan of Lord Ayyappan at Sabarimala. As per the tradition of the holy shrine, women between age of 10 and 50 are barred from entering the temple. Lord Ayyappa is believed to reside at Sabarimala in his celibate form and out of respect for the deity the women devotees do not visit the temple between these ages.

However, Devananda is only happy to wait for forty years to have her next darshan. She said that the wait to meet Lord Ayyappa is more valuable than anything else in the world.

Devananda, who is a staunch devotee of Lord Ayyappa, took seventy-five days of religious observance before acting in the movie ‘Malikappuram’.  The movie was a box office hit and grossed more than Rs.100 crore.

The movie revolves around Kallu, a child devotee of Lord Ayyappa. She together with her friend Piyush embarks on a journey to Sabarimala. During the journey they meet up with a mysterious young pilgrim on his way to the temple. He protects the children from the evil designs of a child trafficker and guides them to the temple.

The movie was welcomed by devotees and movie buffs with open hands. However, the leftist corners and radical Islamists tried to defame the movie. Their calculations were squashed as the movie went from success to success. Malikappuram entered the Rs.100 crore club within 40 days of its release.
