Sabarimala: Ayyan is a protest and has its own politics: Bijibal and Harinarayanan BK

Rithumathiye acharamathilal thadanjidum aryavedassallithayyan (Ayyan is not someone who builds a wall of ritual to stop women who have attained puberty),” assert musician Bijibal and lyricist BK Harinarayanan in their devotional song on Ayyappan titled Ayyan. The track, they say, was born in the wake of the current socio-political discourse on different beliefs and myths related to the shrine in Sabarimala.
