Mohanlal's prayer at Sabarimala for Mammootty stirs controversy, highlighting religious practices. Critics called for an apology; Mammootty's health clarified, emphasizing their friendship. The temple receipt leak was denied by officials.

Mohanlal's Sabarimala Prayer Sparks Debate

The controversy centers around Mohanlal's prayer for Muslim actor Mammootty at Sabarimala. While some saw it as communal harmony, others criticized it. The Travancore Devaswom Board denies leaking the controversial receipt tied to the prayer.

Mohanlal's prayer at Sabarimala for Mammootty stirs controversy

Mohanlal sparked debate after praying for Muslim actor Mammootty at Sabarimala. Mixed reactions surfaced, highlighting religious differences. Mohanlal maintains the prayer was for health, emphasizing personal ties. Officials deny leak involvement.

In a recent controversy, acclaimed actor Mohanlal found himself at the center of a debate after offering prayers at the Sabarimala temple for fellow Malayalam superstar Mammootty, who is a Muslim. Critics have called for an apology if the prayer, known as a 'puja,' was requested by Mammootty himself.
The incident occurred on March 18, when Mohanlal, in the midst of promoting his upcoming film 'L2: Empuraan', visited Sabarimala to offer prayers reportedly for Mammootty's health.
During the "Usha puja," a note was given to the temple priest bearing Mammootty's birth name, Muhammed Kutty, and his birth star, 'Vishakham'. A receipt from the Devaswom office, validating this, went viral, sparking discussions on social media. While some commended it as a gesture of communal harmony, others deemed it inappropriate under Islamic tenets.
O. Abdullah, a noted influencer and former editor of the 'Madhyamam' newspaper, urged Mammootty to publicly apologize if he solicited the act, citing that Islamic law mandates exclusive worship to Allah.
Mohanlal, who maintains a strong camaraderie with Mammootty despite long-standing professional competition, dismissed the controversy.
In a recent interview he reaffirmed that prayers are a personal matter and reiterated that the puja was intended for Mammootty's wellbeing following a minor health scare. "Fortunately, or unfortunately, it came out," Mohanlal remarked regarding the publicity.
Joining Mohanlal in the interview, filmmaker Prithviraj Sukumaran mentioned that such gestures are not new, although they have not previously made headlines. Mohanlal expressed his deep friendship with Mammootty, noting their frequent collaboration on over 50 films and their regular personal interactions.
In addressing the leak of the receipt, Mohanlal hinted at a possible breach by an official from the Travancore Devaswom Board, which oversees the Sabarimala temple. The Board has since refuted any wrongdoing, suggesting the leak was from the devotee's copy of the receipt.
As the prayer continues to be a topic of public interest, Mammootty's camp has dispelled rumors regarding the actor's health, including unfounded cancer claims. Clarifications were made that Mammootty is currently on a break observing Ramadan, with filming schedules temporarily on hold.

According to officials of the TDB, the apex temple body that manages the shrine, as of Wednesday, 32.5 lakh pilgrims had visited the shrine, an increase of 4.07 lakh compared to the same period last year.

According to officials of the TDB, the apex temple body that manages the shrine, as of Wednesday, 32.5 lakh pilgrims had visited the shrine, an increase of 4.07 lakh compared to the same period last year.

Thousands of devotees offered prayers at the Sabarimala Lord Ayyappa temple on Thursday as the auspicious mandala puja was performed at the hill shrine. This marked the culmination of the 41-day-long first leg of the annual pilgrimage season.
The mandala puja was conducted in a deeply devotional atmosphere between noon and 12.30 pm after the idol of Lord Ayyappa, the principal deity, was adorned with the "thanka anki," the sacred golden attire brought to the sannidhanam (temple complex) in a ceremonial procession on Wednesday evening.
The temple will close for the night with the recitation of 'Harivarasanam,' temple authorities said. They added that the Sabarimala temple will reopen at 5 pm on December 30 for the Makaravilakku festival, which will conclude on January 14.
The rituals were led by the temple's head priest, Kandararu Rajeevaru, who adorned the idol with the sacred attire.
Thousands of pilgrims from Kerala and other states, who waited in queues for hours in and around the sannidhanam, attended the ceremonies.
Prominent officials of the Travancore Devaswom Board were also present near the sanctum sanctorum.
According to officials of the TDB, the apex temple body that manages the shrine, as of Wednesday, 32.5 lakh pilgrims had visited the shrine, an increase of 4.07 lakh compared to the same period last year.
In 2023, 28.42 lakh devotees visited the shrine during this period.
Spot bookings were limited to 5,000 on December 25 and 26 as part of the arrangements for mandala puja. However, darshan was ensured for all devotees who arrived at Sabarimala, TDB officials said.

Weighing 453 sovereigns, the Thanka Anki was offered to the Lord by the Travancore royal family during the 1970s.
After the Mandala puja, the shrine would be closed for three days and reopen on December 30 at 5 PM for the Makaravilakku, the release said.
