Makaravilakku is a festival held on January 14 of every year in Kerala, India at the shrine of Sabarimala.An estimated half a million devotees flow to Sabarimala every year to have a darshan (vision) of this ritual.

The Makara Jyothi marks the climax of the Makaravilakku season of Sabarimala pilgrimage lasting 41 days.

Makarajyoti is a celestial star which is worshipped by the pilgrims. The main worshipping rituals are performed at the day of Makara Sankaranthi (every 14 January) day. The devotees believe that witnessing the light brings them good luck and divine blessings.

Almost all roof-tops and the entire Sannidhanam will be packed with devotees with the lone mantra `Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa.'

There is no caste or creed in Sabarimala and all are equal at the holy hillock, making it the only one of its kind.

Shedding their egos, pilgrims are found lying on the wayside, footpath and wait in the long-winding queues for hours together, braving the hot sun and the chilling cold, for the holy darshan.

Away from the modern luxuries, they camp in the forests for days together to witness the Makarajyothi.

The Ayyappa idol will be decorated with the Thiruvabharanam, sacred ornaments, brought from the Pandalam Palace in a ceremonial procession, prior to the deeparadhana at the temple.

There will be silence at the holy hillock for a few minutes and first appear the bright star, Makarajyoti, followed by the flickering of a bright flame twice or thrice on the eastern horizon, raising the multitude of pilgrims to a state of divine ecstasy.

The Makarajyoti appears on the eastern horizon as soon as the deeparadhana at the Ayyapa Temple takes place
