PAMBA: President Droupadi Murmu, on her first visit to the famed Sabarimala temple in Kerala, prayed before the deity on Wednesday after arriving by road at the foothills of the temple town in Pamba and then driving up the hill.
After reaching Pamba, she took part in the rituals associated with preparing the sacred offering bundle (irumudikettu) at the Pamba Ganapathi Temple.
A while later, she, dressed in a black saree with a gold border, carried the irumudikettu on her head.
