The lord Ayyappa temple here has recorded a significant surge in revenue during the first 15 days of the ongoing annual mandala-makaravilakku pilgrimage season, with total collections touching Rs 92 crore.

This marks a 33.33 per cent increase from the Rs 69 crore generated during



the same period last year, according to figures released by the Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) on Monday.

A major share of the revenue came from aravana sales, which contributed Rs 47 crore—a sharp 46.86 per cent rise from last year’s Rs 32 crore, the TDB said in a statement.
