Lord Ayyappa, also known as Dharma Shasta, is a popular deity in South India, particularly revered in Kerala. He is believed to be the son of Lord Shiva and Vishnu (in his Mohini form), born to defeat the demoness Mahishi. Ayyappa is known for his vow of celibacy and his role in protecting righteousness. His story is celebrated through the annual pilgrimage to the Sabarimala temple, where millions of devotees seek his blessings for courage, discipline, and spiritual growth.
