It is a unique post office, and one of its main tasks is to deliver letters to God. Located near the famed Hindu temple at the Sabarimala hills,the post office may perhaps be the only one in India which doesn't work round the year. It comes alive when the peak pilgrimage season of the Ayyappa shrine begins on the first day of the Malayalam month in November, and the period ends towards the middle of January. The post office is also open for 10 days during the Vishu season.
Functioning six days a week from 8 in the morning to 8 at night, the six employees,led by 23-year-old, Sai G. Prakash, have a lot to do. Prakash is happy to be there and says he was a devotee of Lord Ayyappa. "Our post office mostly gets invitation cards for weddings and shop openings addressed to Lord Ayyappa, obivously to seek divine blessings. Prakash told IANS. Most such mail come from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, he said.
