Lord Ayyappan is a Hindu deity. The worship of this deity is largely confined to South India. Lord Ayyappan is worshipped in a number of shrines across India: as an ascetic - a celibate meditating in solitude for the benefit of all humankind. The name "Ayyappan" is used as a respectful form of address in Malayalam, and the famous mantra Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa can be directly translated as Give me shelter, Lord Ayyappa!
