The president is scheduled to arrive in Kerala on the afternoon of October 22 at Cochin International Airport. From there, she will proceed to Nilakkal and later have darshan at Sabarimala in the evening.

Following her visit to the temple, President Murmu will travel to Thiruvananthapuram the same evening.

Police have already assessed necessary security arrangements ahead of the visit. The temple opened on October 16 for the ‘Thulam’ month’s pujas.

The president’s visit was previously postponed in view of rising tensions between India and Pakistan.
