[...] WORSHIP OF SASTA BY L. K. BALARATNAM THE State of Travancore is well known for its marked devtion to the worship of the gods 'its rigid conservatism of caste and other institutions of Hinduism and its profuse liberality in the support of the popular faith'.' The annual worship of Sasta or Ayyappen forms a vital part of the conglomerate of. religious beliefs customs and ceremonies. [...] The period from the middle of November to the middle of January is the period par excellence of the worship of Sasta.
