THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) has entered into an agreement with the department of posts, Kerala circle, for booking and delivering Sabarimala Swamy Prasadam to the devotees.
As part of the agreement, the prasadam will be delivered through Speed Post to the devotees across the country. The booking for the prasadam can be done at any post office across the country through the e-payment system of India Post. The kit named “Swamy Prasadam” includes a packet of aravana, ghee, turmeric, kumkum, vibhoothi and archana prasadam. The booking should be done by paying the requisite amount along with an order form that can be downloaded.
Three types of prasadam packets will be available for order. These include packets containing one aravana bottle, four aravana bottles and 10 aravana bottles along with other prasadam ingredients. The cost would be Rs 450, Rs 830 and Rs 1,510, respectively. There is no upper limit for the number of bookings that can be made by a devotee. Once the order is placed, the prasadam kit will be sent packed in a carton box. India Post had begun its association with TDB in 2020 and had attracted a lot of customers from all states across the country.
A high-level official team from the state that visited the Tirumala-Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) had recommended the government to emulate TTD’s digital services in Sabarimala too. TTD, which manages the Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple at Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh, has been providing a wide range of digital services to the devotees, including special entry darshan, e-hundi, e-darshan, e-accommodation and e-TTD publications from anywhere in the world via their mobile phone.
