Devotees of Lord Ayyappa will now get a chance to have their own devotional songs played at Sabarimala. The Travancore Devaswom Board (TDB) has allowed newly composed songs by ordinary devotees to be included in the temple's playlist. Until now, only songs by famous singers like K J Yesudas and Jayavijaya were played. According to a TDB statement, original songs made by devotees can be submitted for approval. The lyricist, composer, and singer must submit an affidavit and consent letter confirming the song is original and free from copyright claims. Songs should be given on a pen drive to the TDB official at the Sannidhanam temple complex. After careful review, the board will decide which songs join the official playlist. At Sabarimala, the temple ritual starts at dawn with Yesudas's “Vande Vighneswaram” and ends at night with his “Harivarasanam.” The temple reopens in the afternoon to Jayavijaya's “Sreekovil Nada Thurannu.” Various devotional songs are played between pilgrim announcements, and the new songs by devotees will be added in this segment, the TDB said.
