  • Ayyappan, also called Dharmasastha and Manikandan, is a Hindu deity popular in Southern India, He is considered to be the epitome of dharma, truth, and righteousness and is often called upon to obliterate evil. Although devotion to Ayyappan has been prevalent earlier in South India, his popularity rose only in the late 20th century. According to Hindu theology, he is the son of Harihara (Vishnu in the form of Mohini, and Shiva). Ayyappan is also referred to as Ayyappa, Sastavu, Hariharasudhan, Manikandan, Shasta or Dharma Shasta and Sabarinath. The iconography of Ayyappan depicts him as a handsome celibate (Brahmachari) deity doing yoga and as an epitome of Dharma, who wears a bell around his neck. In the Hindu tradition popular in the Western Ghats of India, he was born with the powers of Shiva and Vishnu to confront and defeat the shape-shifting evil Buffalo demoness Mahishi. He was raised by a childless royal couple Rajashekara pandiyan and Koperundevi, and grows up as a warrior yogi champion of ethical and dharmic living. In South Indian portrayals, Ayyappan images show him riding a tigress, but in some places such as Sri Lanka he is shown as riding a white elephant. Ayyappan's popularity has grown in many parts of India, and the most prominent Ayyappan shrine is at Sabarimala, nestled in the hills of Pathanamthitta of Kerala. The shrine receives millions of pilgrims every year in late December and early January, many of whom prepare for weeks before and then climb the hill barefoot, making it one of the largest active pilgrimage sites in the world. The pilgrimage attracts a wide range of devotees, from diverse social or economic backgrounds, except women in their fertile age because Ayyappan is believed to be the celibate deity. He remains one of the few deities in Hindu tradition, who is respected by other religious communities, including Muslims and Christians in Kerala. The most significant festival linked to him is the Makaravilakku (Makara Sankranti), observed around the winter solstice. (en)

  • Ayyappan è il dio Hindu della crescita, particolarmente popolare nel Kerala. È una divinità sincretica, figlio di Shiva e Mohini – la rappresentazione femminile di Visnù. Ayyappan viene chiamato anche Ayyappa, Sastavu, Hariharaputra, Manikanta, Shasta o Dharma Shasta. L'iconografia di Ayyappan lo raffigura come un bel dio celibe che fa yoga e come modello del dharma, che porta una campana al collo. Nel pantheon indù, le leggende che narrano le sue gesta per quanto siano relativamente recenti sono diverse. Per alcuni, è anche un'incarnazione del Buddha. È onorato da alcuni musulmani del Kerala, con leggende in cui Ayyappan sconfigge e ottiene l'adorazione del brigante musulmano Vavar. Nella tradizione popolare indù, in particolare dei Ghati occidentali dell'India, è nato con i poteri di Shiva e Vishnu per affrontare e sconfiggere la malvagità mutaforma Mahishasuri. È cresciuto allevato da una coppia reale senza figli, diventando un guerriero yogi campione di vita etica e dharmica. Nell'iconografia propria dell'India del sud, è raffigurato come una tigre, ma in alcuni luoghi come in Sri Lanka viene rappresentato come un elefante bianco. La popolarità di Ayyappan è cresciuta in molte parti dell'India, e il più importante santuario Ayyappan si trova a Sabarimala, immerso nelle colline di Pathanamthitta del Kerala. Ogni anno tra fine dicembre e inizio gennaio il santuario riceve milioni di pellegrini, molti dei quali si preparano per settimane e poi scalano la collina a piedi nudi, rendendolo uno dei più grandi siti di pellegrinaggio attivo al mondo. Il pellegrinaggio attira molti devoti, di diversa estrazione sociale ed economica, In alcuni templi, Ayyappan è rappresentato con donne grihastha (sposata, domestica). Ayyappan può condividere una relazione storica con la divinità tamil Aiyanar. Il festival più significativo collegato al culto di Ayyappan è il Makaravilakku, celebrato nel periodo del solstizio d'inverno. (it)

  • Айяппа (англ. Ayyappa) — индуистское локальное божество, сын бога Шивы от принявшего женское обличье бога Вишну. Согласно пураническим легендам, Вишну принял вид женского существа Мохини, к которому и воспылал страстью Шива. Был воспитан людьми, прославился как искусный охотник, укротитель диких зверей и победитель злых демонов. Айяппа для своих почитателей предстаёт как универсальное божество (Параматма), символизирующее единство и гармонию. Также он известен под именами Харихаран, Айянар и Маниканта; последнее имя ему дал, согласно легенде, царь Кералы, воспитавший его. Изображается, как правило, юношей, сидящим в позе йога и с драгоценным камнем на шее. Согласно легендам, принял обет безбрачия. Согласно некоторым толкованиям Амара-коши, Айяппа может считаться Буддой. Культ Айяппы распространён в первую очередь на юге страны, в штате Керала. В XX веке число почитающих это божество значительно увеличилось, что даже способствовало улучшению состояния транспортной сферы на юге Индии. Крупнейший храм Айяппа расположен в Сабаримале, Керала, ежегодно посещают более 30 миллионов паломников, что делает его одним из крупнейших мест паломничеств в мире. Паломники, отправляющиеся в храм, одеты, как правило, в особые шафрановые дхоти чёрного и голубого цвета[уточнить]. Храм, посвящённый непосредственно Айяппе, был возведён в городе Патанамтитта в 1937 году (377 году правления местной династии. При посещении этого храма принято пренебрегать кастовыми различиями. Почитание Айяппы распространено также в штате Тамилнад. (ru)
