VHP accuses Kerala Government of undermining faith of Lord Ayyappa’s devotees

The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) is urging the Kerala government to stop what they call the 'oppression of devotees' at the Sabarimala shrine. They object to practices like including Vavar in traditions, claiming it distorts Hindu customs. The VHP also criticizes the lack of amenities for pilgrims and alleges financial exploitation by the Devaswom Board.
