A brass Ayyappan idol, like the one in the image, is a significant religious and spiritual item primarily used in Hinduism, particularly revered in South India, especially Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Lord Ayyappan is highly associated with the famous pilgrimage to Sabarimala.

• Worship (Puja): This is the primary and most important use. Devotees perform daily puja (worship rituals) to the Ayyappan idol, particularly those who observe the vratham (vows) for the Sabarimala pilgrimage or are followers of Ayyappan. This involves:

  • Offering prayers and chanting mantras, such as "Swamiye Saranam Ayyappa."

  • Offering flowers, incense sticks, and lighting diyas (oil lamps).

  • Performing abhishekam (ritual bathing) with water, milk, or other sacred liquids (often symbolic for metal idols).

  • Offering neivedyam (food offerings) like prasadams associated with Sabarimala.

  • Seeking blessings for spiritual discipline, self-control, protection from evil, and the successful completion of the Sabarimala pilgrimage.

• Symbol of Dharma, Discipline, and Brahmacharya: Lord Ayyappan is revered as the deity of Dharma (righteousness), embodying self-control, austerity, and brahmacharya (celibacy/chastity). His idol inspires devotees to cultivate these virtues and lead a disciplined life.

• Preparation for Sabarimala Pilgrimage: For devotees undertaking the arduous Sabarimala pilgrimage, the Ayyappan idol in their home becomes a focal point for their 41-day vratham. Daily worship before the idol is an integral part of their spiritual preparation.
