Actor Ajay Devgn recently went on a pilgrimage to the Sabarimala Temple in Kerala. Nestled in the Perinad Village of Kerala at the Sabarimala hill, it is one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in India and gets devotees from all over the world. Pilgrims to Sabarimala need to follow a simple life and abide by certain rituals before visiting the temple. Actor Ajay Devgan did all of them, as revealed by the pictures. As per reports, the actor did not cut his hair or nails for nearly a month. Also, he walked barefoot wherever he was going while observing the rituals.
Ajay Wore Black During The Ritual Period
According to the Sabarimala Temple website, pilgrims are hoped to lead an austere and holy life known as ‘Vrutham’. On the starting day of ‘Vrutham’, the pilgrim adorns a chain that symbolises the acceptance to follow austerity, free of worldly pleasures. During the Vrutham period, Ajay wore black, did not cut his hair or nails, did not take alcohol and consumed vegetarian food without garlic or onion. While going out, he walked barefoot and also did not use any perfume. As per reports, he also slept for 11 days on the floor.
