Bala Sastha

Bala denotes the child form. This gives the temple its distinctive devotional context within the wider Sastha tradition.

Location and visit

The temple stands by the Kulathupuzha river in the eastern Kollam region. Confirm the route, opening hours and local worship arrangements directly before travelling.

Respect the temple’s own customs

Do not apply Sabarimala’s Irumudi or step-access rules automatically to another Sastha shrine. Ask the temple about its own observances and any offerings associated with the river.
